Stable but Uninspiring for the Masses
Pros: Well managed company with a huge reach in its customer's IT organziations that offers a wide range of products and roles.   Offers its senior managers competitive comp and freedom and good work / life balance for many mid and junior level roles
Cons: Don't come to Oracle expecting to drive innovation or rapid advancement.   For mid level and senior managers it's a highly political, surivial-of-the-fittest environment.   For individual contributors you need to rely on a good manager to look after you.  Raises and bonuses outisde of sales and engineering are rare so make sure you will be happy with your base salary .
