Pros

An stint at Oracle, on your resume, makes getting future jobs easier. You work with some very bright people, and that helps you greatly, especially if you are beginning a new career. It pays to work for an industry leader in the Enterprise Software space. Oracle has great benefits in addition to a competitive salary.

Cons

As with most large corporations, there is a little bit of bureaucracy. In terms of headcount, there is very little organic growth, and that diminishes advancement opportunities as you move up the ladder.

Work-life balance can get skewed at times. Working for groups that deal with mature products/features will lead to stunted professional growth.

Advice to Management

Better communication of the corporate strategy.

Reorganize to shake up the bureaucracy.
