Is it cool? Depends on whether you want cool to mean 'hip' or 'acceptable.' Depending on your position and its characteristics, it's sometimes appropriate and sometimes inappropriate. Regardless of whether it's 'cool,' it's not professional. It can make you seem unapproachable, aloof, or withdrawn. If you want to advance at Oracle, be approachable and friendly, dress professionally, work hard, meet your objectives, and try to avoid office politics.

Oracle is a big company, so the answer almost certainly depends on which department or group you're in. In mine, the distractions are so bad that a headphone is essential for getting any actual work done

Yes. I do it everyday all day to drown out the conversations that are constantly going on around me.
