Pros

Oracle is a stable profitable company with a good brand and reputation. The company offers excellent benefits package and fair compensation. Many office locations with a global presence and customers everywhere around the world provide ample opportunities to travel. A diverse set of product lines in many business units provide many opportunities to move to different areas of interest, although employees are required to stay with a job for at least a year.

Cons

Promotions to leadership positions tend to be bestowed upon those with the best social networks and not necessarily to the most skilled individuals. Most employees do not receive bonuses, stock, or stock option compensation for good performance. Oracle's size and market capitalization leaves little room for out sized growth.

Pros

Good name brand for resume. It is the best database, very useful to have oracle db knowledge and skills for other technology positions. Decent training curriculum for both technical and soft skills but recently cut back a lot.

Cons

Difficult to relate how your work translates into something that matters, takes too long to get adoption from customers. Constant supposed bakeoffs of technologies creates an insanely political environment, the best or most innovative technology frequently doesn't win, the most tenured or savvy leader does. Only one leadership style is highly rewarded, brash and ambitious.

Pros

There are plenty of oppritunities to make money at Oracle and those who are sucessful are well rewarded. There are great benefits like in-office gym, frequent catered meals, and extensive training, all free of charge.

Cons

There is an unhealthy influence from management to do whatever is neccesary to "get the job done" which prevents a clear distinction between work and personal time. This wouldn't be such a problem if they were more flexible with salespeople working from home. The pressure on the sales staff is average most of the time, however, pressure increases exponentially during the end of fiscal quarters or due to turn-over related issues.
