Great people, reactive environment, tiring hours
Pros: The people at Oracle, whether in the US or India are bright, professional, reliable and hard-working. Salaries are good. Benefits are very good.
Cons: Work-life balance was inadequate when employees were required to put in 8 hr days and then get back on-line at night for meetings that often ran until after midnight and then required team members to stay on-line afterward in order to complete work assigned that night and due the next morning.  

Processes changed with each release which made it impossible to measure results for process improvement. The reactive environment was indicative of a lack of realistic resource planning or an inability to use that data to manage task requests from upper mgmt. 

Employees sometimes waited years for raises due to an aggressive acquisition strategy.
