Challenging work environment.
Pros: Oracle attracts great talent. They rely on their name an reputation to recruit.
Oracle has good products (also has some crappy ones).
Cons: In my department there is no work-life balance, would like to transfer to the ones everyone says have good work-life balance. But internal transfer almost impossible. Everything is done via sheer force of will, escalation, and intimidation. You are expected to be available always. We are overloaded and they keep cutting people and benefits. Compensation is at least 20% below market. The longer you have been there the less you make compared to new hires. They rely on heroics but then don't reward the heroes.  Way too many middle managers building mini-empires that add nothing to company vision,  productivity, or profitability.
