The work life balance was encouraged.
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.
