The work life balance was encouraged.
- Work-life balance - Good
Dislikes
... at the Gandhinagar branch and I can only say this about this particular office. The teammates, culture, salary, career growth, everything was terrible. There was a lot of politics and people didn't seem to mind their own business but wanted to get all the details from you- personal and work related. That was a huge turn-off for me. Also, talking about religion and politics was more than what is required at work and especially at places like Oracle. The Directors were nice and the only good people at oracle here other very few other people. The work is also on an age old architecture which I was a part of.

Oracle provides great learning opportunity. The team culture is really welcoming. Everyone is very helpful while they do not do spoon-feeding. Work-life balance is really maintained.

Internal salary hike is not annual. It will be done after 2 years or even longer. There is no real connect between the team members but mostly it's because of not being able to physically work alongside them.
