Great work life balance... but don't expect to feel like you're saving the world.

Pros
As a remote field engineer I enjoy a wonderful work-life balance. I work from home 100% of the time and am able to have some influence over the negotiation of my schedule since I'm closer to many of my customers than I am to the inner workings of Oracle.
Cons
It's definitely a large and ordered company. There is a heavy push to automate and disallow exceptions from our working process.. which is great when failing equipment goes by the book, but not always realistic in the real world. Reading between the lines it's clear that management sees little value in having hardware field support and eventually intends to push this responsibility to customers as far as is possible.
