Stable place but no career
Pros: The base salaries are higher as at the competitors.
It's a good place, if you don't have any ambitions, and need a stable job with a good salary.
Cons: We were a small company bought by the Oracle one year ago. The main part of the company only sales the products, but we are developers. The infrastructure is bad, the expenses are minimized. (We were unable to buy a RAM modul even in our laptops within one year.) The bonus and salary changes are not based on your work, my manager is never asked. For example I've got a higher position for the same salary, no bonus. Everybody else got 10 percent annual bonus and 10% salary incrase remaining in the same position. Explanation: "Somebody made a mistake". :)

It's true only for our small developer team. It can be different to work in the main part (sales) of the company. Maybe we can't fit into the organization.
