Working in Global Business Units is pretty good
Pros: the Global Business Units (GBUs) is a fast growing organization with lots to keep people busy.  Large variety of technology, lot of customer challenges to solve and a good exec management team.  GBUs continue to be an area of growth and investment.  Work-life balance is great depending on your location or role.
Cons: The culture suffers from a lot of old Oracle classic mindset conflicting with new cloud focused business leaders in the GBU or coming in via acquisition.  Sometimes new & better methods are encouraged and accepted but too often, the old BAU rule prevails
