Pros

They are not strict on you, but that's because it's a temporary job anyway, the whole year you're trying to prove yourself to get promoted into an actual stable job. So, lot's of work and self motivation, self learning, they'll always find ways to make things harder for you along the way to see how far are you willing to go to just get results.

Cons

- I's a tough job for beginners & easy job for people experience, making it even harder for beginners cz you're all in one mix. Training isn't what you'd expect from Oracle, but that's what they want, they want to push you in the Ocean and keep you uncomfortable, because that's they're motto "get comfortable feeling uncomfortable" they believe that's the farthest you can grow. (but when you need help, don't just sit there in anxiety alone, ASK).

Pros

Very cushy at times, not super high pressure

Cons

The actual software you're selling is low to mid tier software so hard to sell.

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.
