Senior Product Manager at Oracle Corporation
Pros: Employee benefits (e.g., insurance, etc.), work location in the Peninsula which always has beautiful weather, corporate perks (e.g., food/drink on the floor), ability to work from home, great technical resources, extremely talented and hungry employee base, a beautiful corporate campus, provides a great name and reference on a resume.
Cons: Not a true meritocracy, the entire business relies on the database, politics plays a huge part within the organization, "what happens when Larry leaves?," many employees are great at their positions but that leaves some decisions and insights to be binary in nature (e.g., either you're brilliant or this is the most doomed idea on the planet).
