Pros

Very flexible working hours and reasonable workload. You will work with other talented ppl and everyone is helpful and will share his/her ideas with you. You will be proud of your group. The time between your work and your family is well balanced. Things are pretty well planned and you will feel very stable working for Oracle. You will have enough time to stay with your family and/or enjoy your hobbies. Oracle also provides a lot of internal trainings to the employees to develop various skills. Not to mention the nice onsite gym that every Oracle employee loves. Someone likes the free lunch that is provided by some companies, but I'd rather have the time and flexibility to enjoy the lunch at home with the family.

Cons

It's a big company, so sometimes things are slow, but be patient, everything will go through finally.

Pros

There are incredibly smart and talented software developers from my perspective in the database division. If you like developing and maintaining systems software, there are many (and sometimes too many!) challenging problems to tackle in the database. If you like to learn and expand your horizons, there are many database components, database internals, algorithms, and optimizations for you to investigate. Developers are generally willing to share their knowledge, unless they are too busy with short-term deadlines. Management keeps politics to a minimum in the database division.

Cons

The company and database division have grown in size significantly in the last decade and have had creeping bureaucracy. Programming-in-the-large is never an easy task.
