Pros

Good pay and excellent benefits. Overall, it is a good company.

Cons

The biggest issue is re-org without letting the folks that get involved in the re-org know.

One day A is your peer and the next he is your manager, and then the next B is your manager. I've seen VP politics games; not fun, certainly if your VP lost and you are at the mercy of the new VP and his agenda. At one point, it will get out of control.

The other main thing is that in Oracle, you use Oracle products, period, even if it is garbage. Open source? If it gets approved, it's a 25-page form to fill out, and very little chance to get it approved.

Advice to Management

Get control of those VPs hungry for power and their own agenda, not Oracle's.
