Pros

Oracle is a large corporation with a good reputation in its field. Experience with Oracle and its wide range of products is valued by many other companies making you a more valuable worker. Unlike working with smaller companies, you will have the opportunity to interact with people from around the globe. You will also have the opportunity to learn and create the software products that drive many of the world's largest companies.

Cons

It can be daunting working for a large, impersonal corporation. Your direct management, human resources representative and other coworkers may not even be co-located with you. You need to have initiative and not be afraid to seek out other people in your job.

Pros

It's a global company, leader in it's field, always looking ahead, it has recognition in the market, sometimes to the level that it is overwhelming for clients.

Cons

It's just a branch, no meaningful opportunities for professional advancement within Canada. In particular Oracle Direct, it is considered as the 'call center' of Oracle, and eventhough your senior management will be requiring you to be strategic in your work, the compensation only compensates the ones who meet the metrics (eg. average 50 calls per day, etc) If you can't deliver that on a consistent manner, you could be in serious problems.

Pros

One of the best reasons to work in oracle is to get to know and trained in very advanced technologies and it provides enough opportunity to research and become well versed in it. I believe working experience in oracle increases the professional value and gets branded for easy marketability for outside jobs. Working at oracle provides flexible work hours and work/life balance is great.

Cons

Salaries are less than the other corporations. Management is very rigid and engineers voices will not be heard. Work politics is huge.
