Pros

With all the companies that Oracle has brought over the last 4 years you have access to new technology. Training in these newer technologies is hit or miss as the ability to attend training is predicated as anywhere on your work load and the ability to travel to obtain the training. Oracle does have an extensive online library of training options that are available to all. The benefits are probably the best I have ever had. Standard - 401K and other Benefits. Heath care benefits are very impressive and is one of the major reason some people say they stay with Oracle.

Cons

Management is too worried about their job and their buddy’s jobs to provide the type of management to make this company what it should be. Big slow lumbering giant with to many programs to provide the allusion that things are progressing. With all big corporations a look back at these programs eventual leave a trail similar to discarded chicken bones as you drive out of the drive in at the end of the night. It filled you up but was it good for you? They need to spend less time and money on worthless programs and more on the take home pay of performers. The review and subsequent pay increases are a joke and no one takes them seriously. Get what you can when you get in because odds are that is all that you will see.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
