Good place to work
Pros: Oracle has very good reputation and is considered to be one of the best in the industry. All the colleagues are nice and friendly to work with. It provides good on-the-job training to employees.
Cons: The salary may not be as competitive as similar firms.  If you do not have much experience you will not be paid your fair market value as inexperience is something you pay a price for (although I believe that is the same at most large companies). Lack of work life balance can be an issue however not if you manage it well. Middle management can be very slow and opaque in communicating big changes but again that is the same at most companies of a certain size and to an extent is the function of middle management.
