Pros

One of the best reasons to work in oracle is to get to know and trained in very advanced technologies and it provides enough opportunity to research and become well versed in it. I believe working experience in oracle increases the professional value and gets branded for easy marketability for outside jobs. Working at oracle provides flexible work hours and work/life balance is great.

Cons

Salaries are less than the other corporations. Management is very rigid and engineers voices will not be heard. Work politics is huge.

Pros

It produces a very good products in different areas. I am working in Apps division and this division use many of Oracle's best technologies.

Cons

rules and requirements are not transparent and they are different for different people. Management is kind of random - they forget about people for a while and then produce some decisions.
