Pros

Large, stable company. Good benefits and culture. Leadership communicates well and often. Even in a downer economy, Oracle is still producing good numbers for the Street. The flexible culture allows good hours and work from home or telecommuting. There's good lateral movement opportunities, and given how many companies Oracle buys, you have a decent chance to switch compentencies or area of expertise if you choose to go after it as such. Co-workers vary with the group you are in but are generally effective and smart. The area of growth now is Asia, and there are plenty of good opportunities there.

Cons

Can get lost in the size and employee pool. The management structure setup is highly complex and often I find groups of employees working on similar or relevant areas unaware. The knowledge share competency could be improved.

Pros

If a consultant wants or needs to 'come off the road' Oracle provides many opportunities to accomplish this. other consulting firms its the road or the highway

Cons

In many ways Oracle doesn't know how to deal with consultants. They were and are a great database company and probably should have stayed in that business. Once PeopleSoft was purchased they should have dropped the line of Oracle HR software and embraced PeopleSoft software.

Pros

Oracle is a solid employer offering competitive compensation packages. It's also big enough that you can find the right work-life balance somewhere in the company, but it may take some time to find it. Collaboration is critical to success because of the large number of people involved with every decision. But, its worth is demonstrated in the quality of the products we produce.

Cons

Oracle is big, and it keeps getting bigger. Standing out and getting your voice heard is a big challenge. Competition is everywhere and employees are very territorial, so focus on teamwork rather than individual contributions. Also, you may end up working here even if you go elsewhere due to constant acquisition-based growth.
