Pros

You are working for a major technology company. Expect access to many resources and be able to move internally to work with different business groups and products. This is probably one of the best companies I have worked for. You can get the most of it if you really look for the opportunities. You will be placed in several high profile customers and is able to interact with people from around the world.

Cons

Promotions rarely happen, when they do it takes an enormous amount of time to get thru management and when they come, you are already ready for another one. Salary increases does not happen often as well as bonuses payouts (they are always late and never are fulfilled at 100%). Several acquisitions that are not always completed 100% internally which makes internal processes extremely bureaucratic and slow.

Pros

Diversity of roles available from consulting, support, sales, education, development and sales, Ability to move from one role to another if you aspire to it, Reasonably supportive direct management, great health plan, many long term employees, good employee development plan (20 days per annum). You need to go for what you want and there are sufficient opportunities to do so, don't expect anything to be handed to you, so this is ideal for the aspiring employee.

Cons

Ruthless business performance KPIs determines the overall headcounts, little loyaty to employee - even if you have been with Oracle for years, they seem to release you quite ruthlessly, seemingly little corporate culture and relationship among peers.,
