Not bad, Not great
Pros: The work is interesting.
Work life balance is good.
Technically competent colleagues. 
Beautiful lake on campus for daily walks.
Cons: Vacation policy is lousy.
Stagnation seems to be the norm rather than the exception. Oracle starts out with a competitive market salary but salaries stagnate very quickly and you will be well behind market pay after a couple of years.
Centralized organization with line managers having little to no powers and decisions made at the very top by people who don't know you.
Sponsorship of green cards was halted for a very long time. Immigration facilities in general could be improved.
