      Not impressed, a miserable place to work.

      Pros

      Big name company, can look impressive on a resume to someone who doesn't know the truth.

      Cons

      Very negative work culture. Backstabbing is the order of the day.

      Good place to gain experience ... then move on

      Pros

      It is easy to move around different departments to gain experience. For example, many people start off in technical roles, but move to business (e.g. product management) roles later. Many companies want to hire those with Oracle experience.

      Cons

      Very bureaucratic - takes forever to get even simple things done. I found it very refreshing to go to a start-up after Oracle.

      Slow moving, large corporation.

      Pros

      Being a large corporation, there's always the ability to transfer to an out-of-state location if needed.

      Cons

      It has a huge beauracracy. Things move at a snail's pace as compared to other companies I've been employed at. Each small group assumes that their particular "process" is what is used throughout Oracle. Yet, if you ask 25 different teams on what to do, you'll get 25 different answers. Very centralized decision making. Little, to no, power given to lower level management, hence everyone waits for one of the top few executives to decide on something, even on the most meaningless of changes or opportunities. This results in very little "ownership" of one's job or work effort.
