Pros

To start with they paid a good salary and mostly all of it comes in hand as i was from a premier college. Nothing good to talk about here much. Those onsites i donot know how are they satisfied so much. This company pays in actuals for onsite people thats what the policy says.

Cons

Well too many to count. Workculture- The worst i have heard. U donot even have to compare it to Google or FB. Infosys and TCS would do the job. Hike is average 10% - 2012 (2013 they said will be less) Management -Do not care simply - Give you training on something and tell you to work on smthing else no sync between managers also. Don't listen to you what ever u say. I had the personal experience of chasing 2 managers for 3-4 months for a team change and then finally had to resign Donot be fooled by the brand of Oracle. The benefits they have OFSS doesnot provide. HR - Always good with passing the buck. If u want relocation benefits written in your offer letter they wont give you and come up with some or the other excuse. Workculture - Dnt even get me started on that- no team meeting, no team outings, no lunch nothing nothing at all

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.
