Pros: Oracle is a very stable and established company, which dominates the database market and is trying to grow its application business. There are many different groups and projects. In database there are  a lot of hard core systems type development in good old C, dealing with compliation, optimization and execution of queries and DB supported languages. In apps you can choose to work on data modeling, GUI, business logic, etc. And also other groups like tools and maintenance, so there are definetely a lot of options. People can switch groups pretty easily. Ther attitude of most people is very professional.
Cons: Low bonuses and other incentives. Frugal spending. Slow promotions in some groups.
