Good place to work, when you need some downtime in your life
Pros: 1. Very cool office culture, no dress codes or swipe in/swipe out timings, infact time is not even noted. All they are concerned is you complete your work in time no matter how less time you spend in office premises.
2. Very good work life balance - compensatory offs, work from home option if needed
3. Lots of good material on latest Oracle technologies to read and improve your knowledge
4. Good intial salary offers when you join the company
Cons: 1. Not good yearly salary hikes, infact sometimes no hikes at all
2. Talent management is not good, promotion takes a lot of time and is not directly linked to the pay, you may be promoted with no salary hike
3. HQ dominant company, all core good work is done from US, although this is slowly changing
4. Very little chances to change your work
5. Visibility to higher management of your work is very low 
6. Over a period of time work becomes monotonous and boring
7. Lot of people hang on to this company only because of Pros I mentioned above and they clog up path for growth for any new joinees.
