      Oracle: sacrifice pay to work in a big company. Good for a few years of training and leave for better pay.

      Pros

      Oracle is a big, well-recognized, company with offices all over the world. It also has a lot of opportunities within the company that people can transfer between job functions. Oracle is a leader in most, if not all, the products in the market, and it acquired a lot of its competitiors in the last few years. Employees are working on the best products and technology, leveraging a lot of these from its acquired companies. Besides, Oracle has a wide range of customers from Fortune 100 companies to small or medium-sized companies. Thus, employees know they are building the best products out there serving the biggest companies.

      Cons

      Oracle offers very low compensation packages and provides very little career advancement guidance for employees. Managers are not well-trained to lead teams, and have very inconsistent practices on promotion.

      Oracle requires Fight in the Dog

      Pros

      Oracle is recognized world-wide as the leading provider of database technology. It is an A-list company on any resume. There are numerous opportunities to grow professionally within Oracle, but doing so will take require some "fight-in-the-dog". Oracle offers a competitive workplace with a great number of people with less than two years of employment with the company. Constant turnover results in fresh ideas and an opportunity to take ownership of orphaned projects. The company employs a very diverse and international group at the headquarters in Redwood Shores, CA, which allows for a diverse social network in off hours. It's benefits are generally in-line with any global corporation.

      Cons

      Oracle is focused on promoting use of its database technology stack for any purpose. This is a fundamental engineering blunder: one tool does not solve all problems. Oracle faces significant competition from open source alternatives that are eating away at its customer base, and it is not clear how it will compete against OSS alternatives. Within Oracle, the diversity and use of H1-B talent results in significant infighting between groups, and within groups. In the dot-com bust years, many foreign workers may have found themselves in a position to work significantly harder than US citizens to hold onto their job, or face layoffs. Oracle actively uses layoffs to trim its workforce.
