Good for work life balance but not exciting at all for work
Pros: 1. Flexible timings
2. Work life balance
3. You can take leaves whenever you want, no restriction of no of days if you have leaves left
4. Brand value you will get, some good company calls you will get for sure
5. Certification if you manger is convinced will be paid off
6. Managers are really nice and experienced
7. NIce to be there if you want to just spend satisfying with your salary specially for women
8. Only 1 month notice period
Cons: 1. Quality of work is not good except a few teams, so be specific about your questions to manager before joining. like which technology you will be working, what kind of technology stack, whether open source or oracle's internal, what IDE they use, what version control you'll be using etc. Don't hesitate, they will answer
2.  No extra pay if you work on weekends, except food.
3. No free food, also even after giving money the food quality is very pathetic. better bring you own food from home.
4. Salary structure makes you pay extra taxes.
5. not much incentives apart from salary
6. Only one toilet in each floor with just 3-4 people capacity at a time........sometimes this makes long queue while at lunch time
7. Hikes are good in few teams but don't expect too much 10-12% will be average if you are performing
8. Switching between org is difficult and will cost you with your gratuity
9. Nowadays laysoffs are also common there
10. Now it is slowing becoming a myth having lots of work life balance, as teams are having a lot of work that employees has to work on weekends.
11. Even if you can leave early by 5pm every day, Do expect calls at night 10 pm to 12pm at least twice a week. because of working together with HQ teams.

My advise to new hires: don't join if your work will be in ADF. You will be get a lot difficulties while try to switch org.
