Employment status: current

Looks green from outside but decaying from inside
Pros: + You can learn oracle from oracle , huge scope for picking new technologies and doing certifications.

+ Good work culture , unless you are unfortunate to work under a bad manager .

+ Good health benifits
Cons: + No transparency , in hr policies and management polices . Though the policy says , you are free to move across Line of Businesses [LOB] , this will never happen unless you are too lucky . You join a LOB and mostly you have to retire from there .

+ Work style is mostly like a government organization, routine work through out the decades , promotions based on the number of years of experience irrespective of your contributions . 

+  Good Compensations are history , day by day the board is becoming so greedy that they have indirectly gave a clue that there will not be any market correction till 2013 and it did not happen from 2008 . 

   The worst part is they are recruiting and the new joiners are getting better paid and offered better positions .  So you may have to train a person , who does not know anything about the job , but is drawing twice the amount of your salary.

+ The lower and middle management are just puppets.

+ No , work from home policy and No transportation to the office .

In one word , oracle is golden trap. Looks green and gold when you are joining , but soon you will realize that you are rottening.
