Just a number
Pros: A few great managers  - they can shelter you from the beast of oracle BS
Lots of remote positions
Some roles pay overtime - assuming they  don't cut it again (6 months last year)
Lots of travel - great if you love it. 
Great benefits - good value.
Cons: Some terrible managers - not leaders.
Acquisition company.  Not innovative. 
Lots of unnecessary process. 
Challenging stays quo is not appreciated.
Old school hierarchy. 
Reorg every June - loss of productivity 
High turnover - just laid off half my org and over 4000 others. Takes long time to resettle, lose a whole qtr of progress every year. 
Do not understand marketing. 
Products are average - not investment in r&d to build for future. Just buy others who are. Talk a lot about intergration but in reality not possible. 
Lots of video training 
Tons of effort required for interviews/hiring.  Huge investment. 
Very few promotions.
