Great Benefits & Pay, have to put up with Oracle
Pros: Oracle is very clear about what it's selling, and that is anything Oracle.  In sales, they are very clear about what it is they want you to do and pay fairly well for success.  They do have a tendency to add some sort of "gate" to commission plans that end up managing compensation.  Benefits are the best I've ever seen for very low cost.
Cons: There is no spirit of collaboration at Oracle.  Everyone is incented to compete with each other and think of themselves first, the company second, and the customer third.  Moving between divisions can be difficult, unless you "know" someone.  Initial compensation better be good, because there is no such thing as raises.
