Bring your poison darts!
Pros: Decent pay, good flexibility in work location, decent benefits, large company makes for a semi-safe environment.  Customers really have to you and if you get to understand your patch and product set, you usually can figure out how to position and sell them.  Oracle has everything under the sun technology wise.
Cons: There are some good sales territories and jobs at Oracle, and some lousy ones.  Better know your manager and area VP very well to ensure your deals can get approved!!  Biggest challenge is the terrible customer management strategy.  It's every sales rep for themselves, and customers know it.  It is a "good old boy" network in management.
