Pros

Oracle makes money, and they understand the enterprise pretty well. They are good at strategic acquisitions.

Cons

Oracle's culture is bleak. Fun in the workplace tends to be rare, and the humor is black. Engineers are treated like cogs in a vast machine. There are layers and layers of bureaucracy, which is why acquisitions are essential to Oracle's success. Oracle's organizational philosophy is that people will not do the right thing without rules, checklists, and hierarchies of review.
