Very comfortable work environment

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mostly easy going work environment. Unlimited sick days. Opportunity for telecommuting. Cheap bus pass. There are many great things about working for Oracle.

Cons

The pay is not the best and there is no guarantee of a salary bump every year. Even if your business group did very well, if other areas of the company did poorly it can affect your compensation.

Good for Grads and Senior engineers

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Life work balance is very much part of the ethos. Work with great team & learn a huge amount from experienced colleagues. Chance to work on cutting edge tech and software. Internal training easy to access if related to your job. Ability to work remotely and in office if manager approves. Generally opportunities to travel vary dependant on team.

Cons

Self help is the way internal tools work and can be very difficult to use. New employees can and do get hired on higher pay than existing employees. Pay is an issue, opportunities for pay & promotion limited and annually. Dry promotions very common so end up on higher grade with more work for same money. Then graded at a higher level at pay review. Global Rules put in by senior management make it harder for your manager to negotiate a good deal. Pay and promotions are grouped together by org so can be little for each team in that org. Do not reemploy engineers who leave so once you leave its final. Very middle management heavy which tends to allow politics to influence decisions.

Business Outlook

Pros

Financially very solid. Have some very clear product strategy. Good compensation and benefit.

Cons

Very fragmented - typical to any firms that have grown mainly through acquisition. Team spirit and member quality vary significantly. One team's dev lead won't survive as a regular engineer in another team. Have to use the worst version control system ever (ade - yuck). CEO is generating some news mostly very saucy and flamboyant. The industry hates us.
