Pros

This is a very good place to work. Oppurtunity to perform many different areas in computer science and engineering field to produce quality high level products.

Cons

No matter what the coporate obectives and standards you still have to deal with Individuals. Individuals can impact the experience of how people feel about the company.

Pros

If there's one IT company left in 20 years, this is the closest there is. You will not find another company with the diversity of solutions now after all the acquisitions, bascially every thing you can think of that a company can use is on the price list. The only other vendor with that breadth is not a vendor, it's the GPL world, and that's not 1 vendor.

Cons

It's like hotel California: you can check out any time you like but u can never leave. An urban myth goes that one guy got fed up with his manager so he left to a competitor, Oracle bought them and he found himself back under the same manager, then left again to another competitor, that one got bought out too, etc...

Pros

Good money Excellent Benefits Tons of self-study courses available. Tons of classroom training available if you can find the time. Large and growing pipeline of software sales. Targeted acquisition of hardware and software sales indicate continued success. Oracle's success is your success. Oracle's failures seldom translate into employee failures.

Cons

The downside for working at Oracle would probably be the downside for working at any software and/or consulting company. Sales are cyclical. When times are good, everybody thrives financially. When times are tough, and they were through 2008/2009, people can lose their jobs. All things being equal in the market place, the pros for working at Oracle beat the cons.
