Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current

Offers opportunity for a work life balance, but don't expect much influence on salary
Pros: Oracle is a great place to settle down in.  In general at least in my job, there is a lot of flexibility in the work schedule.  This is mainly due to the fact that it is an international business and many of my colleagues are overseas.  It doesn't make sense to work 9-5 when you have either early morning calls or late night calls with overseas or people on the other coast.
Cons: I would not recommend it as a place for a first job though.  The training and people development is not as good as I have seen it.  I used to be a consultant working for the big 5 and at those companies the training is top notch.  I'm lucky that I got that training and development before I came to Oracle.
