Pros

It is a big company and hence there is job security to some extent. Your experience would vary depending on which group you are in. Some great mentors to work with, from whom you can learn a lot. There are a few people who make the company worth working for. You will get to work on really large products with enough challenges and opportunities to learn. If the group is flexible, there might be opportunities to try out different roles and see where your true interests are. However, few groups are open to it, as they would prefer you to continue in your role to avoid potential time delays to product releases.

Cons

Each group has its own management/promotion policies. The group I was in did not promote my career growth. For several years there was no raises or bonuses. Be it in technical track or management track the career path is not well defined. Again this was in one group, but I have heard of employees being very happy in other groups. I would strongly recommend talking to more people in the group you are joining before you accept the position. During the interview process, do request for time with the rest of the team and talk to your peers to get a good handle on what the job is about.

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.
