Employment status: current
Experience level: Confirmed

Good place to work, but hard to get into, and little salary growth
Pros: The benefits at Oracle are decent.  Your job satisfaction will depend upon the group you are in.  The hiring process is long and cumbersome, but once at Oracle, you have many opportunities for changing positions and groups.  Your salary is however unlikely to keep up with the market.
Cons: This is a large company and it is hard at times to find out who is doing what.  Incentives and compensation growth opportunities are depending upon the group in which you are.  Some groups are well taken care of while others are not.  It is important to be hired with the highest salary you can get.  It is common for employees to get their salary readjusted upon being re-hired (after leaving the company for a few years).
