Pros

Work - Life Balance is great. You can work from home whenever you need to. Excellent health insurance, REER matching and university studies compensation.

Cons

Even tough it's a big company and it "owns" Java and several other technologies, they are still stuck with terrible frameworks such as ADF, and IDE JDev, it seems that some departments are strictly close to trying new things. Compensation could be better also, don't expect to get a raise if you don't fight for it. I believe that this is a project issue, but the planning is shady and it seems that its only in the mind of higher management. Some teams don't use any software development methodology.

Pros

Plenty of time to contemplate where to go next.

Cons

This could go on for pages. Simply put, Oracle couldn't care less about its vast majority of the employees. Larry recently earned 1 billion over night, however 90% of the engineering staffs that's being making him rich does not get any bonus whatsoever. Pay is significantly below market average, and technologies here are far behind industry leaders. You won't learn anything that is transferable in the next job, except maybe powerpoint slides making and meeting notes taking skills that are viewed as the most important skills here.
