Pros
Opportunity to learn - Oracle has acquired many companies in past 5 years. There are good opporunities to learn about various technologies and application domains. Work life balance - Being a 75000 people company Oracle eventhough agressive still offers good work life balance. That includes a great gym and possibility to work from home some times.
Cons
Easy to get lost in this huge corporation - This a big melting pot of different company cultures as a result of multiple acquisitions. Oracle does not have a program to help people move around in various departments and sometimes its difficult to even move to other groups. One has to carefully manage career here on own.
