I cannot seem to remember any.

Cons

Oracle hired me and didn't help much in relocating me from Dallas to CA. Anyway, I still went ahead and spent money from my pocket on relocation. Then they decided to close the team I joined within two months and layoff everyone, including me. It was one of the worst things a company can do: just hire and then immediately layoff. And talk about the severance package; it was one of the worst packages I have ever heard or seen. Just four weeks of salary, and the layoff was like they sent an overnight FedEx package with all the details.
