Pros

The best things about working for Oracle was gaining experience from a major software giant and having that experience listed on my resume. Oracle on your resume is very impressive. I also feel that the pay was competitive and the benefits were the best around. Great medical insurance and if you work at HQ--a fantastic campus.

Cons

For me, the main downside of working at Oracle was the lack of cohesiveness within the company. I felt very disconnected from other parts of the company. I was in Development, but felt detached from other product teams that supported our product. I feel that management in general is good, but my department was very secretive. Communication was not the best.

Pros

It is easy to move around different departments to gain experience. For example, many people start off in technical roles, but move to business (e.g. product management) roles later. Many companies want to hire those with Oracle experience.

Cons

Very bureaucratic - takes forever to get even simple things done. I found it very refreshing to go to a start-up after Oracle.

Pros

Listing Oracle on your resume is one of the best reasons, as the company is recognized as leading software company. Compensation is good for my role. Work schedule is flexible, as is the choice of tools and methodologies (though there is a strong preference to Oracle owned technologies, even when they are not he best). Bonuses are sometimes good.

Cons

Small salary increases is a large one. Bonuses seem to be dependent little on individual performance but rather on business unit performance. There is a strong preference to offshore development, even when it doesn't make sense due to great difficulty in finding experience, qualified candidates.
