Pros

Met some nice people, WFH option, beautiful campus, cafeterias galore, lots of social/networking events.

Cons

This is specific to the org I was in as Oracle is obviously huge and Lines of Business often operate like medium size companies. There are hardly any women in senior leadership roles. Attendees at executive meetings are almost always Indian males. There is a long learning curve and peers are mostly no help. Executive Assistants are not appreciated for their true value and are just seen as "secretaries" by most. Think Madmen. If you are a career EA who likes to get lunches and start conference calls all day long this org is for you! Basically there is no career path for an EA. HR is not to be trusted. There is a culture of fear that starts from the top. Constant re-orgs and changes all day and all night long. Employees average a new manager at least once a year. Politics galore. Lots of gossip and talking behind backs with the EAs in this group.

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.
