"I worked in the Oracle Reston office as part of the Public Sector. Great bosses and work environment, however Oracle only occasionally gives promotions and no one I worked with ever received any pay raises, not even cost of living!"

"Oracle, the behemoth of software companies, the work environment for most is remote if you choose to, otherwise they have facilities globally. Management interaction is sparse as you are expected to be a self starter and a go out and get em type of guy. Direction sometimes is lacking so that may be the one downfall. Compensation is definitely competitive with what other companies are paying, even better than those with clearances."
