Pros

Oracle is taking over the enterprise software world, so if you want to work for the new leader, it's the place to be.

Compensation is average to below average.

Seems like the overall mentality is one of "clock in, get some stuff done, clock out". Very little drive. Some people view this as a plus.

Cons

Outsourcing and globalization.

If you live in the US, you won't be working for Oracle in 10 years. Nobody cares if you are here or not. It's very difficult to work your way up the chain.

Advice to Management

Have some damn respect for your front-line people.
