Pros

The Oracle name and brand are very strong in the tech industry. Well established, stable company that has ample opportunity to gain a diversity of experiences across the numerous global industry units. Great benefits.

Cons

The company is antiquated in many ways. Oracle likes to build/acquire it's own tech as much as possible, for internal use This isn't necessarily a good thing as there are many better vendors- a perfect example is their CRM tool, which is comically subpar. The company is highly verticalized with a lot of red tape and bureaucracy. The processes are extremely convoluted and rigid with too many layers of approval required. Some of the most simple task take an act of congress to complete. There is a universal sense of low morale and Oracle conducts frequent mass layoffs like so many other tech giants. It is known to have bad leadership that is highly political and adversarial. There is an arrogance that customers and partners are lucky to do business with Oracle. I wouldn't discourage anyone from the opportunity to work at Oracle but I wouldn't recommend it either. I would say that they are another example of propaganda machine, but once you get inside, it's a mess.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
