Pros

The training and skills you obtain during your time at Oracle are top notch. You get the chance to do the most technically advanced implementations of the particular Oracle product line you were hired for. Within Oracle consulting, you're also able to move around in your product family vertical (BI), and work on various systems (OBIEE, ODI, Hyperion).

Cons

The constant re-orgs make it tough to have a relationship with your manager. Also, many projects within consulting don't have the same collaborative feel as our partner consulting firms (Accenture, Deloitte, IBM).

Pros

They let you do the work as necessary as long as deliverables and deadlines are met. Management rarely interferes with your day-to-day job.

Cons

Small fish in a big pond mentality. You will feel lost in the organization and there's definitely a "club" mentality that prevents those outside the "club" to be actively involved until you are invited into the "club". This makes it difficult for some individuals to shine, despite the talent there.
