Avantages

Oracle is a terrific brand to work for, when working in the IT industry, if Oracle is in an account, it's never going anywhere so there is tremendous upside to continue to sell into the account. As part of an acquisition I was given better benefits and resources to sell. I was also able to tap into their tremendous sales force that has great reaches into multiple contacts within accounts.

Inconvénients

Their existing software sales force is very hard to work with as they are controlling and look at those who were acquired by Oracle as direct reports when that could not be any further from the truth. You receive a sizeable car allowance a month but can not expense mileage unless you are traveling an exuberant amount of miles a week. My major issue was the lack of ability to move within the company for 6 months after the acquisition and thus no pay increase.

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.
