Oracle is slowly taking over the world
Pros: Oracle has been known for various different things over the years... but the synergy of their current solutions  (DB, ERP, CRM) is very compelling...especially for some verticals.

Think about all the companies you would invest in.. and go work for them.  Warren Buffet says you should get a punch card with 10 different allowable punches over the life of your investing career..
Cons: Oracle is BIG..  and as such politics are par for the course. However, for the most part, its a bunch of smart people all trying to do well in their jobs..

So overall.. just the communication flow and the agility of the organization seems to be slow -- like an elephant.
