Pros

Oracle is investing heavily into entry-level talent by means of product and functional training. Obtaining a position as an Associate Sales Consultant at Oracle out of college is almost like college all over again. You are hired in a "class" of people your age from some of the best schools in the country, you receive extensive training and provided ample time to "ramp up," and the job isn't as demanding as investment banking or implementation/management consulting. It's a great balance and pays well.

Cons

It's easy to get comfortable in this position. You're paid well, Oracle allows a long "ramp up" period where getting fired is actually difficult, and you're given all the resources your need to be successful. It's easy to sit back and relax. Also, Oracle isn't the happiest place to work. Negatively pollutes some pockets of the company.

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.
