Pros

Good Work Life Balance, salaries are good ( could be better) Oracle provides training courses on its software to its non-IT employees and allows its employees to work remotely quite often. It is possible that you and your manager will not be in the same office or even the same city. This takes some of the pressure of people who hate being micro-managed

Cons

Not a lot of bonuses or and no real proft sharing....not a lot of raises so get your high salary up front...Oracle could do better in providing more or at least significant employee perks instead of the ones that we can't use.

Pros

It gives you great exposure to the the software industry. They have some great poeple who work there.

Cons

Very process driven to the point of being absurd. No authority to do anything. Everything must be approved through multiple levels of managment up to and including Larry Ellison. Even for minor contact changes. Not very nimble in the market. Pit sales groups against each other to the detriment of large sales. Sales groups cut each other out of deals so Oracle gets less rather then more.

Pros

Intelligent, talented employees. Most are highly motivated and driven for success. Benefits are excellent. Access to information is good as long as you know where to find it. Benefits of resources a large organisation can offer. Opportunities for movement across line of business within the organisation. Oracle is a strong brand within the market.

Cons

Strong entity within Europe, however there is a feeling of being removed from US and corp strategy. Frustrating to work within the sales model of the organisation. Feeling that you spend more time selling internally rather than externally. Career progression depends completely on self motivation, with no management support - though this may depend on one's manager. Based on conversations with colleagues, if you are not self motivated it is very easy to get lost within the organisation.
