Pros

Stable, safe, predictable and good benefits. Good work/life balance with option to work from home as needed (depends on your team/manager). Lots of career paths to take.

Cons

As with most giant companies sertain things move slowly. I often felt the progress of my team was held back by slow and bureaucratic processes. Oracle has a many awesome products, but of course a lot of bad ones which you may be forced to use even when there are much better technical alternatives.

Pros

Nice office, flexible working hours - we're treated like adults, not clocked in and out.

Cons

No pay rises at all, not even enough to keep pace with inflation, despite being in a profitable part of the company. No bonuses, despite being told we're doing well. Oracle bought a small company and have introduced their culture. A you'd expect from a massive company, it's a pretty dull culture, and we have lost something intangible in the process. Probably not the best place to work if you want steady career development, or want to stay for a long time. Better to come, work for 2-3 years, then move on to something where the rewards are commensurate with the effort you put in. It's good to have a big company on the CV, though.
