Company: Oracle
Date: 2011-02-25
Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current

Varied, mixed, no recognition of cost of living, no raises in many many years, promotions are rare.
Pros: Cutting edge technology, great people to work with,  good benefits package, tuition reimbursement, flexiblity to work from home.  Some areas offer all the training you could possibly want.  Some areas allow support engineers to do rotations in development.

Larry Ellison is truely a visionary leader - he knows what he wants Oracle to be and he goes after it.
Cons: "We don't have to give raises because people stay anyway" mentality.  That's a direct quote from a Compensation Management class.  

Upper management completely out of touch with the daily lives of the people who are making money for the company.  Total blindness to salary needs of employees.   Complete disregard for workload of support engineers in the US.

Total disconnect between needs of its customers and how we're delivering on those needs.  Customers are forced to play by Oracle policies/processes vs Oracle meeting customer needs.
