You are either lucky or dissatisfied !!
Pros: Great place to get started with your career. Lot of opportunities to learn provided you get into their Primesourcing group. You are almost certain to get into development and in a year's time you will realize the jump start you have on your mates from college in terms of technical knowledge and exposure. But, if you get into their product development, it becomes a gamble. You might end up being someone with domain expertise with a handsome salary or someone with nothing at all. Nevertheless, not many will regret the decision to join the company as a fresher. Laterals might also not find an issue as they pay them well. But, if you are an employee who has joined the company and has been there for 2 years or more, you will feel the heat !!
Cons: Compensation is pathetic, particularly Primesourcing group !! There is always a difference in treatment when it comes to treating employees from different groups (primesourcing, product development etc) !! Some really bizarre policies they have. The appraisal policy is a mockery ! Oracle acquisition hasn't helped. They earn projects using the Oracle brand name, assure quality of Oracle standards, but the employee salary is less than1/2 of what an Oracle India employee earns ! here is the best part -- People with 2+ years of experience earn almost the same as a fresher !!! I can keep going about this, but I am basically tired of all this !! STAY AWAY - unless you are someone who isn't really bothered about the Salary !!
