Pros

Intelligent people, great opportunities to move either vertically or horizontally, great organization. I feel that benefits and salary, while not the highest in the industry are more than fair and employees are treated very well. It is certainly a sales driven organization so working in sales you get the best of everything (however that also includes higher expectations). However, I have friends working at Oracle and elsewhere and I certainly wouldn't trade my experience with any of their's.

Cons

Huge company, some amount of internal hassles when trying to procure things. Since it is a matrixed organization org charts can be a bit difficult to figure out.
