Experience level: Junior

Cobblers' children have no shoes
Pros: I work with a nice bunch of people, and if you live west of London the location is not bad.  Good canteen, good training possibilities and the benefits / pension package is quite good.  I've not been there long enough to know whether the career opportunities are any good.
Cons: Coming from a contractor position, the money was a big cut.  But what irritates me more is the fact that Oracle is quite tight.  My team are all developers, but they won't buy us decent laptops, and they won't pay to send us business class when we fly to California for work.  Then there are the sclerotic business processes which slow everyone down - probably typical of large organisations.
