Good place to "retire"

Principal member of technical staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work-family life balance. Nice gym with swimming pool. Good smart people for the most part. Great cafeterias. Easy to find somebody to carpool with no matter where you live. Has offices in India, so can work from there or from home when on a 4-5 week India vacation/business trip.

Cons

Using many outdated technologies. Mindset still is to create in-house products even where much better open source solutions are available. Not much career growth. 5-10% annual salary growth max. Bug database is horrendous. Source control system is too overly complex and a big PITA.

Great place to work despite of bad salary

Principal member of technical staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Senior Management doesn't complain if you need to work from home. Besides that, Oracle benefits such as health care and 401k are really good.

Cons

Salary is not competitive if compared to the market and bonuses are really bad, sometimes nonexistent. The fact that Oracle has acquired many companies has changed the company soul. Now it looks like one place with many different companies inside.

Great company with excellent products and ideas, but poorly managed within.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products and a place to find some of the best brains in the industry.

Cons

Majority of Development managers and directors do not know what they are doing. This is very bad for the future growth of the company as they drive good, talented people by their lack of knowledge.
