Pros

It is a huge company and has many resources. There are so many things, technologies, and/or products that you can learn and try. It is all free because all are owned by Oracle. The experience will enhance your technical skills, and some of the products, to be frank, are fairly leading edge.

Cons

The schedule is so tight, they will not invest on training. You have to take initiative at your own time. Also, do not expect a raise at all, nor a stock option grant; instead, negotiate a higher starting salary. Even if your manager wants to give you a raise, her hand is tied. It is all controlled by upper management.

Advice to Management

Invest in employees and respect them. Give raises to your employees.
