Pros

Looks good on your resume and in your network. People look up to the Oracle name. After all it is one of the benchmarks of progress in information technology field.

Cons

This review is only about the Minneapolis location. There is really not much about "Oracle" but just an old company called "Retek" that was bought by oracle in one of its shopping sprees. so a lot of old leftover culture (not good) has been retained from the retek days. Some manager are just self centered egoists who spend the whole year only caring about what they can show to their directors and VPs as their accomplishment at the effort and expense of their employees They are of authoritative attitude and partial. This is especially true with "SE" (sustaining engineering)managers that first give a lecture on how there have been orders from teh "top" to reduce work from home yet they would be the ones who work from home the most.

Pros

Very flexible works hours/location Very good side benefits (good, cheap cafeterias, gym, discounts at restaurants etc)

Cons

Working as a coder in Oracle can be depressing. The developers there tend to be sub-par. Management randomly cancels whole products, not just projects. Late night calls to India can be thoroughly frustrating as a) you can't hear them b)they can't hear you and c) the developers in India are generally completely useless
