I honestly wouldn't recommend working at Oracle
Pros: •	You will spend less time in commute if you live in the southern part of the city as the office is quite close by. 
•	There is so much to learn here in terms of technology and applications if you take the initiative.
•	The cab service is great and pretty well aligned.
•	Good weekend and holiday working allowances.
Cons: •	The applications used here are outdated and very complicated to use. You will end up spending a lot of non-productive time in waiting for the data to get populated. Oracle also doesn’t use any third party applications.
•	There are Quarter ends which are very hectic and you might be asked to work for two weekends back to back.
•	Very bad hikes in this organization. If your review period is from April of this year to May of next year, you hike will be released only in December of next year provided there is hike for that year and there is no guarantee that all teams members would receive the hike. This is only for Manager’s favorites. There are also instances where there has been no hike for a continuous 2 years.
•	The Human Resource team right from the recruitment till Exit is very disappointing. The offer after the interview process is complete, will take about 1 to 2 months.
•	There are no HR Manager Feedback reviews with the employees to see if things are working well or not.
•	There is typically one HR business partner controlling the whole floor and most of the managers on the floor are close to the HR. Even if you go and give your feedback of some wrong doing on the floor, you will end up in soup because it won’t be kept confidential by the HR.
•	There are some managers who shout on the floor using abusive words, but these things are not taken into consideration from HR at all which is quite disappointing and you end up feeling helpless.
