In Oracle you need to take care of yourself

Pros
Autonomy, you can make a difference (as shocking as that seems at such a large company), the people - smart and concerned, Oracle knows how to make money so if you are doing your job you have a job.
Cons
The overhead for getting anything done can be huge. The scope of the problems span so many organizations and people that getting everyone to move to the same beat is daunting. The internal controls are stifling if you have to do HR, Finance, etc.. busy work. Middle senior management does not provide solid direction, while the top seems to know what they are doing - the game of "telephone" from the top down is difficult to execute on.
