Avantages

They have great benefits and a good starting salary. Of all the different teams and products at Oracle, I am lucky to be in a very good group for a good product. My group works in smaller teams, and our product is a smaller product so we have more control over our code, thus making a bigger difference to the product. I did start at Oracle in a different group and it wasn't as enjoyable or rewarding.

Inconvénients

It is a big company, and you might not initially know if the group you are joining is good for you or not. But it is relatively easy to switch within the company. Promotions and raises are also quite infrequent. I know great engineers who have been working there for years but haven't moved any where.

Avantages

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Inconvénients

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
