Pros

The job has a great training program, good benefits, and many resources within the company.

Cons

Your odds of progressing a career here at Oracle from an SDR are around 5-10%. If you do not do well at this job, you will not last many people get laid off or leave. Majority of people leave and go to a new company because it is next to impossible to get promoted. Without field experience, there are only a few places you can go and there is almost 0 turnover with hundreds of SDR's competing for a position if one opens up. They tell you around a year you can "try" and get promoted which means you have to reach out to a million people and interview for spots that dont exist yet and when a spot opens up on a team- hope the manager remembers you. It is a total free for all with 0 guarantee you ever get promoted and no organization or formal interview processes. It is your job to "network" and hope things come to you at the right time. If you are looking to stay at a company after your first job- this may not happen here with a very low salary and minimal opportunity for comission.

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.
