I'd like to stay but I can't afford it
Pros: If you're a good networker, pushy, followup with everything all the time, stay very focused on yourself and do everything yourself when it comes to your own growth - you can be pretty successful here. You will very early find out that this is a Self Service company, nobody does anything for you, you need to do it yourself. this can be a good thing...or a bad thing.  I ll put it as a good thing. 
The medical insurance is very good. There is a lot to learn.
Cons: If you are the "I'm an expert" type of person and expect management to notice and to invest in you and help you grow - it will never happen. 
Everything needs to come from you, management is not very interested in proactively investing in anyone - I had the experience of two different jobs in Oracle and this was my experience both times. 
Rarely you find someone to "back you up" and it's usually not management. 
True Self Service company. 

Very little transparency when it comes to promotions or raises - raises never come if you don't ask and build your own business case and even then the percentages are tiny. 
The older you get in the company the less you earn compared to new hires. After 6 years I have colleagues earning double and close to triple and only one raise.
