Pros

Good benefits and nice friends to support you when you get frustrated with management. Nothing else I can think of here... really hard.

Cons

Too big, you are just a number. Management needs management because there are so many that they need to manage themselves and in the end just few to do the real work. Compensation for people who are here for long time is not fair, it does not keep up with the market. New hires, fresh students get the salary of senior/principal members.

Pros

The benefits are amazing, incredibly comprehensive and inexpensive. From a product standpoint, the overall strategy is so comprehensive, between applications and infrastructure, that there is almost nothing you can't offer as a solution to customers. Every customer seems to have some amount of Oracle installed, so there is always some Oracle relationship, whether or not it's positive, it's something to build off.

Cons

Oracle's internal culture seems to remain one of competition, rather than cooperation. This means multiple Oracle reps may compete for the same business in a single account, and some bad behavior results. With the acquisitions, this is changing somewhat, and there are pockets of accounts teams that work as a team, but long time Oracle employees seem to have that competitiveness that emanates from Larry.
