Pros

Flexibility. If you are developers then you can pretty much work from home since we could connect to office machine via VPN. Meetings also can be attended via conference call. The benefits such as medical and 401K are pretty good comparing to other big companies. There are so many options for medical benefits so you could choose one that fits you. The vacation also pretty good since you do not have to report sick days =) Working experience differ from groups. If you are in ST group then consider yourself lucky since you pretty much got all the perks.

Cons

The downside is probably lack of promotions and raise. Promotions are very hard to get since there are so many to do list that need to be checked off, especially in ST. Since the company is big, you may feel your contributions are not significant since you mostly work only in small part of the product. But thats to be expected from big company like Oracle.

Pros

Good Place to Learn. Lots of training available if you want to learn.

Cons

Salary is well below industry standard. Chances of significant salary increases are nil. Employees are not rewarded well enough. Effort to retain good talent is negligible. The overall message the company seems to send its employees is "we don't care. Stay if you like, if not we will just outsource your job to India." In some groups managers are terrible, especially the ones with non-American Origin. I lost most of my hair working at one such group.

Pros

An stint at Oracle, on your resume, makes getting future jobs easier. You work with some very bright people and that helps you greatly, especially if you are beginning a new career. It pays to work for an industry leader in the Enterprise Software space. Oracle has great benefits in addition to a competitive salary.

Cons

As with most large corporations, there is a little bit of bureaucracy. In terms of headcount, there is very little organic growth and that diminishes advancement opportunities as you move up the ladder. Work life balance can get skewed at times. Working for groups, which deal with mature product/features, will lead to stunted professional growth.
