-You directly can talk to customers: good experience
Cons: -Hikes are not great

-Internal transfers are very difficult : It's easier to leave company that trying to join a different team. Moreover, you may have to compromise on the Salary as well because of transfer
-Code quality is really bad. Not much emphasis is laid on it good software practices. Not much to learn in terms of software programming. On contrary, you might become too lazy after working here for a few years. When you quit Oracle, you'll usually find it very difficult to cope up with the work pressure in the new company as no other works at such a relaxed pace.
-No knowledge sharing across teams
-Few personality development programs
