Pros

Successful Company, very well run. Great campus (Redwood Shores). Exciting products. You'll be surrounded by very bright people.

Cons

Be prepared to sink or swim. Nearly everything is self-service with repect to "on-boarding". Very hard to navigate all the internal systems. Work / Life balance is a little out of whack. This is probably department specific and it the price to pay for being part of a successful company.

Good place to work, learn critical skills

Pros

Oracle offers many opportunities to create a diverse skill set, over time. Since job descriptions are very focused and narrow, it does take awhile to spread yourself around and learn. But they are there. Your colleagues genuinely are some of the smartest you will encounter. This is a fine opportunity to develop a wide and diverse network of peers. In general, the compensation packages are good and fair; with a number of obvious outliers thrown amongst. In this environment, you are constantly asked to achieve higher goals, to stretch.

Cons

Because of the environment of heavy hitters, even the most accomplished will find it hard to stand out. Only the truly driven will thrive. It's a big company, and while entrepreneurship is encouraged, it truly is at times maddeningly difficult to have your ideas break through the "big process" mentality. There are a lot of people here who have fallen into the "I'm just a cog" mentality.
