Pros

Great people if you find the right organization to work with Oracle is a good stepping stone if you're out of college Health Benefits are great

Cons

Oracle decided to move HQ to Austin, TX which became effective late 2020. It was planned a long time ago so nothing to be angry there. Oracle is backfilling any departures in Austin, TX where possible. TX is employer friendly compared to CA. My review is from a non-OCI / non-engineering role -- this might not be applicable to you. Oracle is known for no pay raises. You can google it and it would be the top result. The average length of employees is around 2-3 years because they realized.. wow it is true. Time to find a better paying job. I have seen ex-coworkers get 40% raises by accepting outside jobs. I did the same. What's maddening is when I discussed pay with a peer.. I discovered that as a new hire.. I was paid more than him and he had been there 4 years already. Oracle doesn't value talent or loyalty. I have seen people request a match to stay but HR would say no. Your management chain will have no power. However, they would hire a total newbie for the pay that the person requested.. Oracle cannot retain talent. On blind -- I have seen someone polled offers between google and Oracle. all the Oracle employees said choose google.. you can chill and get pay raises. lolll it's funny how all oracle employees were on the same page. doesn't look good externally. Advice for anyone that wants a raise at Oracle -- apply to another position internally. That's the only way.

Pros

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).

Cons

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.
