Employment status: current
Experience level: Confirmed

Overall good experience
Pros: - Important products to business operation and technology development
- Compensation I'm guessing is around 15-20% below market (base+rsu+401k w/match)
- Benefits overall are good but family of 4 is $860/mo employee cost for Cadillac plan
- No formal vacation policy.  Vacation between you and your manager
- Work/life balance depends upon role but generally acceptable
- Work from home is available depending upon your group and role
Cons: - In 5 years I have had outstanding performance on reviews which resulted in: 1 small salary adjustment,  medium stock award, a significant boost in compensation when promoted.  Even so, I lag industry peers in compensation.
- Corporate travel is painful.  All travel must be booked thru company travel agency.  Many options for direct flights removed leaving few direct international flights.  Business class air travel only authorized for Sr. Director and above roles.
- Oracle does not pay for home office expenses.  Oracle considers you as a flex employee with an office desk if you are 50mi from any Oracle office (not the office you would normally work at).  I'm guessing their is a tax advantage for this flimfamery.
