Startup acquried by Oracle
Pros: My team was a startup acquired by Oracle, and we still kept the startup feel and avoided bueracracy as much as possible. We worked on academic research and development related to AI/ML and we were able to publish academic papers and work on interesting technologies such as Lucene, Machine Learning, OpenNLP,  Semantic web/Graph algorithms, etc. My team members were smart, innovative, and nice people.
Cons: Raises and bonuses were not as competitive as at other companies. I heard from mutliple people that other teams were not like mine and were much slower moving and more bueracractic.
