Pros

Work life balance is ok. Work pressure is not so high. Job security WAS a pro point but it faded soon.

Cons

Old technology used unless product you work on was a fresh acquisition. Reluctant to change to new technologies, nothing to explore. oracle people live in their own tech cocoon. The world around is way ahead. Management is a family business there, too much partiality everywhere. People bring their spouse and let them grow while others are ignored. You can see this in almost all GBUs. No respect for tech talent. Please your manager and you will grow(you know what I mean), else you are ignored or even made to leave the org. Freshers come and go for higher studies. No growth opportunities and hikes.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
