Pros

They really allow/force you to taker a lot of training, take advantage of it, ride out this economic storm and then move on.

Cons

Monstrously large company, communication from people even 2-3 levels up from you is worthless. I really think they have no idea what it is that we do.

Pros

Oracle is an unbelievable fast past company with ever changing technology and products. The pay is very good as the benefits. The people are all top notch and they do not keep slackers onboard. You are your own boss and control your career at Oracle.

Cons

Can be stressful. Not enough hours in the day. Cutting back a little too much in training.

Pros

In the technology field Oracle has a very good name and there is some pride in being able to say that you work for Oracle. Oracle is also a technology leader in many sectors and beats other competitors. Oracle has also rapidly expanded through strategic acquisitions to become a premier player in the business software sector beyond the core relational database products

Cons

Oracle is not an employee friendly company. They don't really place much emphasis on the individual. The overall benefits are also fairly poor for this industry sector. Working for a large company like Oracle has drawbacks due to its size
