Pros

Oracle has good brand recognition. Your marketability increases when you are looking for a job. Good work-life balance (this is a downside too; you can sit in Oracle for many years without doing anything).

There is an opportunity to move within Oracle. You can move from engineering to consulting to sales.

You can work at Oracle if you just want to collect a salary and not do any real work.

Cons

Crappy middle management in the Applications Division. The culture is centered around pleasing the manager and not doing the right thing or real work. Work here if you can "thrive" in Oracle's corporate culture, which requires you to have no consciousness or honesty.

Advice to Management

No advice. You can't change the management at Oracle. Just fire all managers.
