Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current

Steady Place to work. Growth depends on who you know.
Pros: - Pay not as poor as people say. Engineer/Analyst pay above standard DBA pay rates.
- Management have always been flexible and understanding with requests for time off, vacation, training.
- Pretty much go on as many training courses of various types as you want.
- Opportunities to work with acknowledged technical experts and work/transfer abroad
Cons: - Pay rises are non-existent.
- A promotion does NOT mean a payrise.
- Customers and Sr management expect engineers to know everything about ALL Oracle products
- Management do not value technical skills. Believe anyone can do this job and hence outsource to low-cost countries such as Romania and Egypt.
