Work was good but they screwed employees during layoff
Pros: Good development work right from beginning
Cons: There were layoffs in the ZFSSA org recently where around 50% of the employees were laid off. Everyone understands that layoffs need to happen sometimes. But Oracle really screwed it's H1B employees. People only found out about the layoffs through rumours 5 days before they happened. The company didn't give any notice to the laid off employees and didn't keep them on payroll for a month or 2 to allow them to find a new job. People working on an H1B visa have only 60 days to find a new job and get their visa status change application receipt which can take around 4 weeks. So a lot of employees will have to take the first job offer they get just so they don't lose their visa status and get forced to leave the country.
