Some great teams/Managers also lots of mediocre folks
Pros: Great products, innovative and never the same. Every couple of years Oracle extends their scope and goes after a new market. If its industries, hardware, engineered systems, cloud, mobile you name it, Oracle will be there sooner or later. Its a great place to learn and you can work with very talented people who are at the top of their game.
Cons: too many acquisitions which on one side bring very bright and talented people,  on the other mediocre folks who don't know how to survive in a large global company. They think that running a 100-1000 people company is the same as running one of 140.000. Many times they get paid waaaaay better then existing employees who have to suffer and manage folks who are getting paid more than they are (and ever will earn).
