Oracle is good for stability and flexibility, poor for compensation

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability of Company - it's doing pretty well when others are being bought up Flexible work hours, at least for some teams, it depends on your manager. Knowledgeable people to work with, alot of smart people here Training Opportunities are good to increase your skills with classes and some money for education

Cons

Pay and bonuses are low, and you usually don't get regular salary increases, and if you do, it isn't much. Can be hard to move very far up and take on more challenges since it's such a huge company, so you have a lot of competition up the ranks. The Executives are paid way more than their peers at other companies, while the workers are underpaid, so it can make you feel very unappreciated.

You need to be self sufficient and prepared for no or little management interaction.

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The have an extensive software product line. You could learn JD Edwards, Peoplesoft, Hyperion, and Siebel. If management permits, you have opportunities learn products that may further your career. The company name will look good on your resume. The benefits are comparable for a company of this size.

Cons

They view employees strictly as headcount. A person can get lost in all the bureaucracy. The current bonus structure for consulting does not compete with other services organizations. If you do not like large organizations, then this is not the company for you. If you are joining as a consultant, then you need to come in with a solid base salary. The bonus' have not been that good since I have been with them. There seems to be a reorganization every other quarter. When it comes time for an annual review some people will have had 3+ managers in a 12 month period.

Good company to grow with, but exceptional performance is not being recognized.

Senior principal consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is large, well respected, and it has a lot of opportunities. It also provides a lot of training opportunities. The benefit is one of the top among companies. If you are single, you pretty much don't need to pay for health insurance out of your pocket.

Cons

Salary is not competitive, and they promise you quarterly bonus, which only happened once in the past year. As a consultant, there is no per diem, so you basically having a pay cut. Communication from senior is not sufficient. A lot of time they decide one something and just simply ask you to do it without getting your opinion first... and this is decisions regarding technical solution. Imagine having management people making technical decision. Good performance is not being recognized. They'll tell you "good job" ... then just move on and keep quiet. This is wrong!
