Pros

Oracle provides ample opportunities for advancement. However at Oracle it is essential to understand that you are on your own! You must create your own opportunities and networks. Oracle rewards those employees that are aggressive and that set out to be leaders.

Cons

Oracle does not go out of its way to make employees feel 'fuzzy' . All business all the time. Not necessarily a downside but it could be for some. The best reason to work for Oracle (see above) could also be a downside for some.

Pros

Coming in the door, you may get an opportunity to make that jump to the next level of responsibility. Getting further advancement beyond that may be less easy.

Cons

Management leans on the use of the stick too much, and the company pays less that what you would expect for its size and maturity of operation.
