      Sign ahead: Drive with Caution!

      Principal consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They let you do the work as necessary as long as deliverables and deadlines are met. Management rarely interferes with your day-to-day job.

      Cons

      Small fish in a big pond mentality. You will feel lost in the organization and there's definitely a "club" mentality that prevents those outside the "club" to be actively involved until you are invited into the "club". This makes it difficult for some individuals to shine, despite the talent there.

      OK place but very beuraucratic

      Senior development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good growth for performers, good brand name and value on the CV, chance to work on big, cutting edge products. flexible time, opportunity to move between groups. good benefits. the senior management tries to communicate things in a timely manner to the people but is not always successful in doing so.

      Cons

      big company - things move slowly, career growth can stagnate easily, not much value to people. salary is low and is not decided fairly. the management takes advantage of bad times to stop promotions and career growth of people, even though promotions are not linked to salary raises in oracle.

      Life on the inside is only as dull as you want it to be.

      Senior support engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is nothing quite like being on the inside. Access to uncensored bug and Service Request information, development sites and product development personnel, opportunities to participate in beta tests. Growth through acquisition means there are new potential areas to explore all the time, and what's best is that they come to you, and naturally are best of breed. Some of the brightest and hardest working people that I've ever come across work at Oracle.

      Cons

      It's a behemoth. There's a desk manual but each global centre tends to do things its own way. Everything is driven by statistics and we all know about lies, lies, and more statistics. Immediate management tend to be drawn from the workers themselves, and as such often don't get the respect that management deserves; they are also stuck between a rock and a hard place - the people they manage were once peers and friends, but now they have to do The Management Thing and that's not easy if it means reprimanding a buddy. And guess what ... the buddies know it. Oracle is also a place where the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Make some noise, get some attention. Don't expect to get recognised for your brilliance alone. Some of the thickest and laziest people that I've ever come across work at Oracle.
