Oracle Financial Services Software - OFSS Worst Experience - OFSS Review - Associate Consultant
Pros: 1) Good brand value. But do not join it just because it is Oracle now.
2) Good exposure to banking domain knowledge
3) Good onsite opportunities for freshers who are willing to travel to regions like Africa, middle East. For other regions like JAPAC, America, Europe you can only dream about it as a fresher. Lots of politics involved as nothing at OFSS is based on your performance.
Cons: 1) Poor work life balance.  Have to work 10-14 hours on daily basis.
2) Work satisfaction is not there. No motivation to work.
3) Very less or no salary hikes. In many regions, they don't give any salary hikes to freshers even after 1 year of hard work. Freshers joining next year will have better salary than the person who already worked in the organization for 1 year. Hike will happen in the name of salary correction. 
4) No point in working hard as there are no or single digit salary hikes and bonus also is not calculated on the basis of your performance. 
5) No comp-offs on working on weekends. There is no term called Compensatory Off in OFSS. Managers will push you to stay late without any critical work just to satisfy his/her ego.
6) No work from home.  Even if you got a company laptop you are not allowed to work from home if you are not feeling well enough to come to office. But they (managers) will shamelessly ask you work from home after office hours.
7) No team lunch, no outing, no cultural activities. HR's are only seen at the time of hiring and exit interviews. No team building activities are done.
8) Very slow growth.  No promotions are done even after 2 years of work. 
9) No project management skills. Managers will put unnecessary pressure on employee
10) No scope for professional development
