Depends what you want
Pros: It was a good quality of life job in terms of flexibility. They do have access to a lot of interesting products, and I really enjoyed the team I had. I got a good "big company" education in terms of processes, global business, etc...
Cons: It was sometimes very hard to get things done, so a disproportionate amount of time is spent on process. Part of this is that they have a one-size fits all approach to many processes that work ok for their large teams, but tend to drown small acquired niche teams. There are a fair number of people punching the clock, so even though there were pockets of brilliance, there were also a lot of pretty mediocre people filling the ranks. You really have to be willing to play the long game and weather a lot of ups and downs to succeed at Oracle.
