Technical Consultant - HSGBU
Pros: We were acquired (previously Phase Forward) by Oracle.  By in large, Oracle has left the organization intact.  Bright and talented coworkers.  I'm not sure how the rest of Oracle outside of HSGBU, but everyone is friendly and helpful to one another.  Good benefits:  401K matching up to half of the 6% max, decent health plan, they pay for my mobile service, $5k education reimbursement, quarterly bonuses, free soda/coffee/snacks...  It's a good place to work for a while.
Cons: Since we've become Oracle, we've barely received any substantial raises.  I feel as though I'm getting paid less than market.  I know that a recent new hire that I'm training is making more than me.  Long hours and hard work.  Many of former Phase Forward employees were let go or have left on their own and many of the positions were never refilled causing lots more work.    Work/Life balance is not considered with Oracle.  Burning out is very possible.  It is difficult to move up in the company.  Kind of a dull place to work.
