Pros

As a consultant, one of the best parts of working at Oracle is that you get a lot of hands-on experience very quickly. You can be 'thrown in the fire' and expected to produce quality results right-a-way. If you like the challenge then it is a great place to work. You typically are ask to focus on one technology or product at Oracle, but when at a client's site you may get pulled into other technologies or products. This keeps your job exciting and not so mundane. When the economy is doing well, Oracle is very supportive of training, including in-class training.

Cons

Oracle is a big company so you can have the feeling of a small fish in a big pond. If you are looking for a lot of recognition from management this is not the place for you.

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.
