Avantages

Oracle is a fine company if you like the big company culture, lots of training opportunities.

Inconvénients

As I've seen written before, make sure you negotiate hard for your salary; whatever you negotiate is likely to be the maximum salary you have whilst you're at the company. Oracle has a very flat management structure, so you'll find only a few people between you and Larry Ellison, which gives Oracle a very predictable salary cost from month to month, it also means that promotion prospects tend to be "dead-mans-boots", that is to say unless the guy above dies or gets a better offer, you will stay where you are, unless you're able to get cross-promoted into another section. Oracle also doesn't mind moving the goal-posts. Many of the field sales teams in the USA recently lost their car allowance, which is a big deal for some who used it as one of the negotiating points during the hire process. Which means that in addition to pay dropping through inflation, you can also have thousands removed with a single "all-hands" email.

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.
