No future
Pros: It is a nice name to have in your resume
Cons: I'm writing this review as an acquired employee. If you thought you had a career, it will be dead by the first year of the acquisition. First, Oracle will pay off any PTO left you had and tax it as a bonus, meaning half of that amount will go to taxes. Second, Oracle will take away paid holidays and shorten your PTO and force you to take a winter break. Third, they will take away any snacks or nice thing you had in your office. Fourth, they will freeze hiring, will not approve any promotions and will not approve any salary raises. To finalize, they will tell you there are incredible opportunities to grow within the company, be ware, it is all smoking mirrors. As an acquired employee, it will be very hard for you to transfer to any of the  other Oracle business and even if you get approved for the transfer, any VP can block your transfer anytime just to keep you working where they need you. In other words, your entire company culture will be destroyed in less than 2 years. All the good people are going to leave first, and the ones behind will suffer the grunt of all the acquisition changes.
