Many pluses, but some significant minuses
Pros: Working with bright people on the latest enterprise software technologies can bring lot of excitement to the job. Savvy people can take advantage of lots of opportunities to work on projects of one's choosing. The facilities at headquarters are top-rate, and work-life balance is generally well respected.
Cons: Don't come to work for Oracle if salary is a top concern; you'll be frustrated by the compensation policies. Poor top-down communication, constant change in priorities, inability to adequately compensate engineers or grow organizations organically make for difficult times for middle management.
