Would not recommend. Maybe for a short stay, but definitely not a forever home. - Avis employé Sr. Member of Technical Staff Oracle

Avantages

Great pay, reasonable time off, interesting work.

Inconvénients

Really, really poor leadership. Incredibly aggressive deadlines that aren't reasonable. Lack of clarity when it comes to technical debt. Un-payable technical debt accrues to the point where you actually do need tons of engineers to work on the projects just to make minute changes. That's a very backwards and outdated engineering approach. Doesn't come close to an ideal experience for both engineers and customers. Even though unlimited PTO exists, lots of people are working more than 8 hrs a day, and find it difficult to actually allow themselves to take days off. The public voices speak, "Support, help, and don't work overtime", but the deadlines and goals that are set speak, "work overtime, we aren't supporting you, we want to squeeze everything out of you." Repeatedly I requested adjusted communications to customers and leaders with regards to aggression on completing work. While I was able to get less pressure for myself, that really couldn't be exercised because the same treatment wasn't being applied to the rest of the team. There wasn't consistency in how leader/follower relationships were managed, and if someone allowed them to be pushed because they trusted their leaders, the leaders took full advantage of that. If you were vulnerable to working long hours without additional reward, you were taken advantage of and not rewarded properly.

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.
