Pros

Flexible time and good benefits. One good part about Oracle is you can keep your personal life. There is no limited sick days or work from home days. Management will also approve regular working from home schedule which is very nice.

Cons

Too much politics and no direct guidence of product direction. Too complex of development environment to be productive. Just like any big companies, you are not recognized by the good work you did. The bonus and salary raise often tie to your manager's relationship with senior management.

Pros

It's a market leader with its eyes on first place in each market area. The culture is very get-things-done. The top people are experts in their fields. The strongest product areas (i.e. database) are widening their leads over competitors. Lots of opportunities for customer feedback, and the customers are experts too who can help to hone employees' skills. Whether you want to work in a buttoned-down corporate-style team, or a small agile startup-style team, there's a product group that's right for you.

Cons

Career development is largely in the hands of each employee, and opportunities vary depending on the savvy of each area's management. The long adoption cycle for products means that it can take a long time before your cool new feature has a big impact. Old-timers and teams from newly acquired companies find themselves competing to prove who's product and processes deserve to become the standard. Some people operate, and some managers manage, out of an inordinate fear of getting fired.

Pros

One will be exposed to develop world class enterprise applications. There are very few companies that do such a large scale applications. Learn them while you were there. Your hard work is really appreciated by your peers. But don't expect to get any growth. One can grow when you stop working and just do talking. One should learn to play politics. If you just work silently and solve the company problems, no one cares for you and you will stay without any promotions. Keep in mind to negotiate a good starting salary. No one gets a good raise after joining. Company cares about the shareholders rather than employees. So, don't get too much emotional with the company. You are paid for your work "period"

Cons

Hardwork or smart people stay at the bottom of the hierarchy. One has to play politics to grow up the ladder.
