Pros

You can get to know a lot of ppl who are awesome at what they do and get their help if you want to really give your everything to get higher. Flexible timings and work. In my case, i was able to work when i liked and i never had a fixed 'in-time' or 'out-time'. Work is chill most of the time! except one or two days in a month when there is a priority bug! nothing wrong there! An ocean of learning opportunity with oracle University. It is free for you and you can almost go for all the trainings that are relevant to your work, or if your manager is okay with it! The company is doing well! if you are thinking about job security, then this is the place! they wont fire you that easily! one in a 10000 gets fired once in 2-3 years. Those are good odds.

Cons

no perks whatsoever! if you think the points mentioned in 'Pros' are good, then that's all you will get. If you don't ask, you are almost forgotten. The HR and the manager both point fingers at each other if we express displeasure with compensation. Young college hires will get the market corrected salary every year! But its almost a miracle if they correct your salary according to theirs! Even your VP if he comes and you talk to him about compensation, he will point his finger towards Larry Ellison or Safra Catz !

Cons

- Rating are not related to Hike (Outstanding rating may not get any hike) - No change in compensation or salary structure on promotion, no market correction , no hike for 3 - 4 years , - HR is not aware of most of the Oracle policies and is not able to help people - No onsite opportunities for employees only few for upper management (On actual salary) no benefits - Senior management doesn't provide a platform to discuss employee issues. - Hiring is driven by money and not by talent i.e. they prefer to hire a low cost resource instead of required skill set. - Onshore resources are treated well and are heard but not the offshore resources. - Huge discrepancies in salary's of same level of employees. - Higher studies/ paid trainings for fresher ’s are not approved easily, You have to be in managerial role to justify the sponsorship of an MBA course.
