Not what it used to be
Pros: Big company with lots of name recognition. Everyone knows the company. Many many top notch folks.  Good opportunity to work with world class talent
Cons: Oracle has always had a merit based culture.  Go hard or get crushed.  There is tremendous pressure to deliver nearly 24/7.  For many years this was rewarded with great pay and a feeling that senior management at least understood the sacrifice to family and sometimes health that was necessary to be successful.  Now it is taken for granted.
