Do not think, just do as you are told
Pros: - As a very profitable company, there's no worry about whether the company will go out of business. 
- Work from home flexibility is allowed for most groups
- Lots of opportunities for business travel to all parts of the world
Cons: - Oracle is a company that makes its profits through lean operations (read: maximizing margins). That means, you as an employee get squeezed too
- Very little work/life balance
- You're not thought to think - you're merely supposed to do. 
- As a result of bureaucratic processes, you become more of a process manager instead of a product manager. Those of us from Sun that made it into Oracle, soon found that out the hard way
