My experience (IaaS org)
Pros: * My colleagues are all smart and I enjoy working with them.
* Flexible work hours
* Remoting allowed on a case by case basis.
* Decent technical challenges which are interesting and align with career development.
* The product/service I'm working on is important for Oracle, and has relevance in the market place.
Cons: * Oracle is pretty much a Java shop, and I don't like the Java platform. Luckily I have been able to use other languages due to my focus area.
* Weak standards around code quality and maintainability in some teams, which can be frustrating.
* Too much of a reliance on top-down, hierarchical decision-making. This cultural issue makes it hard for developers to show initiative and come up with solutions without the aid of management.
