Not a bad company to work for
Pros: Oracle, especially in the past, has been a big proponent of working from home.  This is a perk in itself and helps with work/life balance.  Note, however, that certain organizations have stopped this and are now requiring people to be in the office full-time.  Vacation amounts are fair.  Business is fast-paced with new products and acquisitions.  Oracle is generally an industry leader which is good for job security.
Cons: Raises and bonuses are rare - even when executives continue to make loads of money and the stock price rises.  Little focus on training or career development.  Seems to be little opportunity for promotion / career growth.
