Pros

1. People have a good attitude and I have met some technically very sound guys here. 2. Not much politics among co-workers (Developers). Can't say the same for managers. 3. If you are good at "self-motivation" then its like extended school. Online library subscriptions will help you in all the ways if you want to learn newer things.

Cons

1. Salary hikes and growth: Man forget about it. Its better you work here for learning things and look for other possibilities in industry. In this area oracle India is like govt jobs. All are same. Whether you work or sleep all the time. 2. The work profile is I don't know very crippled. After completely dedicating yourself to the work, its like you are not gaining anything technically as a developer. Although it depends heavily on person to person.

Pros

Very cushy at times, not super high pressure

Cons

The actual software you're selling is low to mid tier software so hard to sell.

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.
