Do not join OFSS/I-Flex just because it is Oracle now. Join it after knowing it well and if it suits you. - Principal Consultant Oracle Employee Review

Pros

Get to learn banking domain. Flexible timing allowed (at least in my project) - depends on the manager.

Cons

Oracle Financial Services Software Limited (OFSS) was formerly i-flex, which is acquired by Oracle. Flexcube is its corebanking product. AND I JOINED MAINLY BECAUSE IT IS ORACLE NOW. 1) It takes lot of time to get hang of functional and technical aspects of the product. Too vast really. Hence it take lot of time to start being productive. 2) Unreasonable customizations accepted. Why build such a huge, complex and generic product then? 3) Poor program management. Employees will bear the brunt of this. 4) Very tedious/lengthy process of doing product changes. Doing a small thing takes ages due to internal dependencies. You will learn nothing out of it. Process is constantly changing and no documentation. 5) Very poor work-life balance in an active assignment. 6) Onsites are mainly in developing countries and are poorly managed. Employees slog at onsite. 7) The work has to be within product boundaries and according to its framework. No lateral ideas required nor entertained. Hence no learning or restricted learning only. Any additional skill-set you have is totally wasted. And existing skill sets would evaporate soon. 8) Bonus is shown as part of CTC in the offer letter. And they hardly give 30% of it. 9) No hikes nor increments. Forget about promotions.

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.
