Pros

Intelligent, talented employees. Most are highly motivated and driven for success. Benefits are excellent. Access to information is good as long as you know where to find it. Benefits of resources a large organisation can offer. Opportunities for movement across line of business within the organisation. Oracle is a strong brand within the market.

Cons

Strong entity within Europe, however there is a feeling of being removed from US and corp strategy. Frustrating to work within the sales model of the organisation. Feeling that you spend more time selling internally rather than externally. Career progression depends completely on self motivation, with no management support - though this may depend on one's manager. Based on conversations with colleagues, if you are not self motivated it is very easy to get lost within the organisation.

Pros

Most people including me would chose flexible work hours for the best reason to work for Oracle. Normally, you will just need to complete your project in a timely manner, and you manager would not count your work hours. Sometimes, I have to work late or weekends to finish up my projects, but I am also very comfortable to get out of work early for my personal matters. Of course, it is the best place to learn Oracle application products and databases. They offer excellent training resources such as Oracle university.

Cons

The company is huge , and I often found poor internal communication. Definitely, compared to a small software company, it is very hard to move to a management position from a developer. There are many developers who have been there more than 10 years and still have been waiting / looking for an opportunity to get promoted to a management position.
