Diverse company, good work life balance
Pros: -Work-life balance is good - mostly expected to manage your time and stick to a 40 hr work week; burn out is not part of the culture 
-Diversity & Inclusion events  / ERGs - Oracle is for everyone. Progressive employee benefits and workplace policies. 
- Lots of education opportunities --> All the common online business learning subscriptions come as benefits + Oracle University - employees get easy access to free technical & business education (outside would pay $2K+ year for same courses) 
-I've visited over 10 office locations in my tenure - NYC, Chicago, HQ-Redwood, San Jose, San Francisco, Austin, Burlington... all campuses are very nice, safe, recently renovated and outfitted with new kitchens and amenities. 
-Places newcomers can meet and network / lunches and seminars. Additionally many employees and leaders are local volunteers, or help raise money for charities which Oracle matches
Cons: - At first, it might seem difficult to navigate - a big ship - lots of chambers to explore
- Global communications can feel highly transactional / "self-service"  - more work needed to break down silo's and cultivate more employee ideas
