Pros

Reasonable hours, fairly liberal expense policies, not too many abrupt changes, company doing well in spite of recent economic downturn

Cons

Oracle knows the tenuous position of their employees and that they can't go anywhere, so raises have been non-existent for years. Pay is significantly lower than competing companies. No career growth assistance. Technology innovation is virtually non-existent here. Management still abides by Ellison's "management by ridicule" approach and violate all the rules of decency in the book. Zero praise for quality work. No incentive to take initiative. Corporate culture breeds mediocrity.
