Pros

I came in through their BDC program and it's a great place to jumpstart your career. Even though Oracle internally is disorganized, it still has a great external reputation as a strong fortune 100 company so you have lots of opportunity for your career by starting here.

Cons

If you have management that isn't willing to fight for you, you will be much more likely to fail. There is a lot of luck involved with sales, but especially at Oracle where it is political, you have to end up on the right side of all the bureaucracy. It is also difficult to move within the company, but again if you have a manager that is well connected, it could be easier. They also pay well below the market rate for tech sales, taking advantage of clueless college kids who don't know better

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
