Oracle is a good place to work overall
Pros: Good benefits, good base pay, ok culture. Although a sales culture there is a lot of decent technical focus and a lot of smart people to learn from. Oracle's negative reputation is somewhat overblown, the work environment is fast paced but there is a culture of balance and technical talent can be developed if the employee seeks mentors and training.
Cons: bad reputation among some pros, small raises/raises held/bonuses held too often, difficult to move up within department without lateral move, slow to change, self-service culture is taken to extreme sometimes making it difficult to get answers or costing a lot of time on the part of the employee execute a process that is unfamiliar.
