Oracle Senior Software Developer reviews

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

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.
