Pros

There is room for advancement if your are in the right division. You are given proper time off for family issues when needed. Oracle is very understanding when it comes to personal issues.

Cons

You can easily be overlooked. The different cultures here @ Oracle don't always mesh so well. As much as we would want them to, it is just reality.

Pros

The money is very difficult to beat, and some of your peers will be the smartest people in the marketplace and will become lifelong colleagues.

Cons

Oracle is not a work-life balance place. Plan on working non-stop while you are there - that is both a strength and a weakness of the company. Typically they give 2-3 people the same job and see who is standing at the end of the quarter. The person standing gets to keep the job for the next quarter. In addition, the ethics of this organization are both good in pockets and tremendously bad. There are managers on the government side doing business in such a manner as to be shocking. If you want to have an ethical compass, I would make sure you have it well in place before you work at Oracle.

Pros

To learn sales from the best in the business. By far the biggest reason to work at Oracle, particularly in sales and marketing, is the world class training you will receive, both on the job and in the classroom. Every technology company has a culture, Oracle's is a sales driven culture. Big deals make this company tick. You won't find bleeding edge technical innovation at Oracle. No, instead you will work alongside the most successful and well paid sales professionals of any Fortune 1000. Top field sales reps him earn well over $1 million a year with bonus, but their tenure is typically short-lived, unless they can keep that pipeline full. As a result the company attracts the top sales professionals in the field. Come to Oracle if you want to learn sales, but don't think of Oracle as a technology company. It is not.

Cons

Ruthless, take no prisoners culture. Willing to do anything for enough money.
