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.

Dislikes
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.
