A great place to work but not without a lot of pitfalls
Pros: You will work with bright and hard working people most of the time. Oracle has a rich history and a lot of talented management that have been around for many years. Also, Oracle is huge and there are a lot of opportunities in different areas.
Overall, I believe there is an excellent work life balance. This is truly one of the best reasons to work at Oracle. Most of all management understand this and are supportive and encouraging in taking care of business at home and work.
Cons: Oracle is in the midst of a rough transition to the Cloud. They are late to the game but are investing significantly. In certain areas they are still losing marketshare or are very stagnant. There is significant turnover in certain areas of the business.

Promotions are hard to come by. Management can be thick and superfluous at times. 

Pay is lackluster in comparison to most of the industry.
