Pros

Oracle is one of the best companies to work for if work-life balance is a significant concern for you. It offers exceptional flexibility. Employees often complain about not receiving salary increases and claim they will leave the company soon, but they rarely apply to other companies because of the flexibility here.

Cons

Salary increases depend on the organization. Even if your product performs well, do not expect a salary raise, bonus, or RSUs. In the field of app development or within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), you may expect RSU or Bonus but if you were to ask any Oracle Global Business Unit (GBU) employee, they may not even be aware of what RSUs are within Oracle. You may wonder if Oracle provides RSUs at all. This discrimination I don't like at all.

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.
