Pros

Oracle is a big company that warrants name recognition. Resources and opportunity are available for those who are hard working and love a good challenge. Good sharp, management team. Provides good training and opportunities for advancement.

Cons

It's cut-throat.. While management is sharp and focused on company objectives, there are huge issues with managing resource related issues. The environment is very much, survival of the fittest. Everyone wants to be in the limelight and management does very little to discourage internal competition and backstabbing. It's not a team oriented atmosphere.

Pros

Oracle offered a very comprehensive benefit package and a good salary and bonus. A great place to learn new technology to improve yourself.

Cons

As a Oracle consultant, most projects are short terms (3-6 months max). You will be constantly changing projects which is very stressful sometimes. Company culture is different from most other companies. A very competitive place. In Oracle, you need to do more than your assigned projects. You were expected to help develop new business as well, which is a very important fact in your annual review and your promotion. Normally they like to give higher title to new hires to attract them. Once you join, it is very difficult to get promoted.

Pros

Oracle has very good reputation and is considered to be one of the best in the industry. All the colleagues are nice and friendly to work with. It provides good on-the-job training to employees.

Cons

The salary may not be as competitive as similar firms. If you do not have much experience you will not be paid your fair market value as inexperience is something you pay a price for (although I believe that is the same at most large companies). Lack of work life balance can be an issue however not if you manage it well. Middle management can be very slow and opaque in communicating big changes but again that is the same at most companies of a certain size and to an extent is the function of middle management.
