Product quality and staff retention take a back seat to sales and consulting
Pros: Oracle offers a comprehensive benefits package in the US. Medical/dental/vision coverage appears to be high compared to other employers. They also offer 401k matching, low cost life insurance, and other benefits.

At Oracle, you are exposed to many different technologies, industries, and complex customer implementations. These present plenty of opportunities to learn a wide array of skills.
Cons: Although there is a lot of training available to employees at no cost, it frequently has to be done on the employee's own time due to understaffing.

Employees are overworked and undercompensated. Off-shoring is relied upon too heavily as a cost-cutting measure, ignoring the increased cost and burden that it creates for the rest of Oracle and it's global customers.
