Oracle - a good place to work, with some room for improvement
Pros: Benefits - one of the most comprehensive benefits package in the industry
Range of technologies - full spectrum of technologies is used at Oracle, including database, Java, web services, XML etc.
Smart people - some very intelligent people, especially at senior levels of the organization 
Processes and systems - true process and systems excellence for rapid turnaround of issues and automation of manual tasks
Cons: Too big at times - you have to deal with a number of different organizations to get your job done
Can be bureaucratic - Oracle can lack the entrepreneurial spirit at times and there is an emphasis on doing things "by the book"
Not the best paymaster - base pay is middle of the road, and equity at lower levels in the organization is non-existent.
