Pros

As the title says, Oracle offers great work-life balance in general. Oracle is huge, with thousands of products, services, and teams, which offers great mobility possibilities. Management is usually hands-on, friendly, and helpful. Benefits are good, with recently added RSU grants as an alternative to Stock Options. The HQ campus is great. Salaries for new hires have been improving a lot to support the growing cloud business.

Cons

Management has very limited decision-making power when it comes to budget issues, including compensation and rewards. Salary hikes are slow, cash bonuses are rare and usually insignificant.

Bureaucracy and politics sometimes get in the way, as with any big company.
