      Work life balance

      Pros

      Flexible work time, we can work from home and save valuable time away from terrible traffic. Also we have lots of projects here.

      Cons

      It's hard to keep the pace of modern technologies, things are need to discuss/on hold for a very long time, and when you totally forget why we do that and what we've done so far, the project is started again. You have to adopt this, pick one thing in hand for several days/weeks, then it hangs there waiting high level/senior level discuss it, for months... No salary raise for almost 2 years

      Great retirement company with good work life balance

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible timings and good work life balance. Sexist remark: "But its an amazing company for women". Carrier growth is faster if your perform. Subscription to good online resources if you want to learn. Work will be good if you are in a good team. Encourages higher education while you still continue to work.

      Cons

      The work life balance is a trade off offered for lesser than industry average growth. No wonder Oracle is a great grooming school for Amazon, Microsoft and Google and also IIM's. Legacy software maintenance, this can be a nightmare for you if you want to create something new. Most of the good teams (Server technology group) are in Bangalore and most of the R&D effort happens in the US. Campus recruits from tier one colleges are looked upon as candidates already having higher salaries compared to veterans. Don't expect to grow at-least for couple of years. Some managers also earn less than their subordinates. You can find managers with minimal technical know how and just gather updates. Don't expect mentor ship.

      Pros

      Its ok, but going downhill.

      Cons

      Small offices. Noisy work atmosphere. Raises, bonus, stock given out to those very high up in the company. Don't expect a raise every year. Not even cost of living. Keep in mind the company culture is "The first rule about Oracle is, don't talk about Oracle."
