Slow moving, large corporation.
Pros: Being a large corporation, there's always the ability to transfer to an out-of-state location if needed.
Cons: It has a huge beauracracy.  Things move at a snail's pace as compared to other companies I've been employed at.  Each small group assumes that their particular "process" is what is used throughout Oracle.  Yet, if you ask 25 different teams on what to do, you'll get 25 different answers.    Very centralized decision making.   Little, to no, power given to lower level management, hence everyone waits for one of the top few executives to decide on something, even on the most meaningless of changes or opportunities.  This results in very little "ownership" of one's job or work effort.
