Pros

Good people if you are under good management, decent pay if you are in the right position/group, making a difference, Oracle is the industry standard for DB technology

Cons

Huge company can result in people competing to do your job. Comp and bonuses are spotty--the company does not recognize loyalty or company longevity. Businesses outside DB are suffering and are not agile enough to respond to market demands.

Pros

Flexibility. No one cares when you come and when you go. Its not a problem if you don't meet the target, or even if you do.

Cons

Extremely difficult to actually start doing something challenging. Developers spend all the time fixing bugs. Development is also mostly understanding their proprietary API that are buggy and undocumented. Knowing people is more important than know technology. No hikes and no bonuses. Salary stays same to 2-3 years and then increases a little bit.
