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

it has good cafes and the work is relatively challenging. the groups are somewhat self-autonomous so you can do a bunch of things as long as you have the resources to go after there. but nothing can be that big or else it will hit the purview of senior management and then the whole process will slow down or come to a complete standstill.

Cons

it is a very slow company to react and thus the projects are few and far between. don't expect any performance reviews that are worthwhile either. they started to do them towards the end of my time there, but they weren't taken seriously
