Keep your head down and be glad you have a job, don't make waves.
Pros: There is a reasonable amount of flexibility for one to manage their own time; most important aspect is to get the job done. Benefits are fine for an entry level employee, though not altogether generous for seasoned staff. If you want a narrowly defined position and willing to stay in your box waiting for other silo'd teams to complete associated tasks, this is the place to be.
Cons: Extremely top-down management style, micro-managed to obsessive levels. "This is just the Way Oracle Works" is the advice from mid level management when pressed to explain the rationale for the many mind-boggling decisions passed down. Clear evidence that power is not instilled beyond the executive tier.
