Pros

It's a big company so there are a lot for resources available to tap. A lot of people seem to have been around for awhile and people don't seem to be too worried about getting laid off. Great telecommuting policy (if it's ok with your manager).

Cons

It's a big company so sometimes it's hard to be noticed. Pay is just average or maybe slightly below average. Because many people have been around for awhile, there's resistance to change and many are stuck in their old ways. Doesn't seem to be a lot of innovation going on.

Pros

Oracle consistently pushes to keep consultants trained in the latest technology, and provides opportunities to exercise those technologies. Oracle allows consultants to take risks in order to succeed (or fail) based primarily on the individual's own performance. Oracle has no problem booting poor performers out the door. It keeps one pushing to stay on the edge. Benefits and salaries are better than average for the region. A good long-term assignment can make Oracle employment very rewarding.

Cons

It's not warm and fuzzy, it's competitive. It runs through cycles of collecting too many management layers looking for something to do (but cleans house by reorganizing annually to help shake them out). There is pressure to travel frequently and there are limited alternatives to excessive travel. It is often a place to learn Oracle technologies well, pay your dues, and depending on available assignments, just move on.

Pros

knowledge, knowledge, knowledge. soak it in, build your resume, it will become solid gold. the information you can learn from many many competent colleagues and the plethora of learning material is really pretty amazing.

Cons

unexpected lay-offs at any time, difficult career movement. Lots of older professionals who aren't ever going to be CEO's.
