Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Confirmed

The Song (and comp.) Remains the Same
Pros: I have been at Oracle a little over 7 years, in a non-sales capacity. Some very smart people here, benefits are relatively solid and work-life balance is great (I and a lot of my peers can work remotely).
Cons: After 7+ years (non-sales but I do support/help Sales in bringing in lots of $$) : no raise, no hint of a raise, no career track/path, 1 small bonus (6 years ago), large bureaucracy. I read another comment several years ago that was spot on (and mystifying): I moved from one org to another over a year ago, with the new position listing a "higher" level of experience and presumably, comp. When I was hired at the new (now current) position I was told that my level and comp would remain the same-yes I was qualified for this position (or they wouldn't have hired me) but "policy" stated that I had to work in the new job for a year before any discussion of a bump, even though my new position was at a higher level. After a year so far? My Manager and Director have made it clear that I'm still in the learning phase and so no go.
