It provides more flexibility in terms of working location ie office or home and even in some cases it is fully remote. Lots of talented technical individuals specially IC's. there are multiple training opportunities to learn wider range of technologies and applications

Dislikes

No Salary Hike even after COVID Higher Management is very lethargic and is just interested in grabbing names for themselves at the cost of talented IC's No Job Stability as we frequently hear of RFI Promotion opportunities are very limited

Dislikes

1. No hikes for 5-7 years straight. Not because of personal performance. Just with excuse the company doesnt have budget. 2. Trainings are frowned upon by managers. No budget for that again. 3. Teams work with a blame game culture. Other teams just dont use cuss words, rest all is hurled at one another. Managers feel they are kings, and never have a good feeling for their subordinates direct or other teams. 4. Meetings and more meetings to discuss the same lame defect list. 5. Always pressurized to finish as many defects. Even though the support and OPS teams are lame....Read More

Oracle has customers world wide so the work that you do impacts many people. This gives a huge satisfaction as a Software Developer. The work life balance is great where 5-6 hours of solid work is enough to get you through your daily tasks. I have not heard of any layoffs in Oracle's Application Development Unit so the job security is great.

Dislikes

Salaries at Oracle are not standardized at all. Fresh college graduates will make more than you if you are a lateral entry joining after 1-2 years FTE. The main difference is in stocks. Tier 1 fresh graduates get around 50k USD in stocks and if you join as an IC2 with 1-4 years of experience, you get 0. The salary desparity is huge and as far as I have heard, the hike cycles are non existent. With regards to learning, as an Applications Developer at Oracle, you will work with Internal tools like VBS and ADF which are not widely used in the industry. These are low code tools which require good problem solving and debugging skills to master but do not require hands on coding as such. Additionally, now they have also started 5 days WFO in most of the Hyderabad teams....Read More

The work, the industry wide recognition, free live up skilling trainings, free certifications from Oracle which costs hundreds of dollars for people not working in Oracle, people are nice and manager is very chill, no fix working hours, you can work for few hours at your own convenience as long as the work is getting done, it’s veryeasy to take leaves. No one forces you to work if you are ill, or you want to go on a vacation...Read More

Raises are not consistent, they didn’t provide raises in 2023, the raises in 2024 was good for some, excellent for very few but very poor for most

Slow paced development work. Flexible timings. RSU is some relief considering their poor salary package

Dislikes

1.poor career growth - no industry standard learning 2. Poor financial growth: hikes happen like rain in desert, once in a while. That too of poor percentage ( at times even single digit ). You can’t beat inflation with salary increment 3. Low standard work: the nature of work is that you mostly deal with outdated tech stack, tools and processes. No real learning from day to day work. Even the smallest piece of task would need complicated processes and approvals making it unnecessarily boring with no useful takeaway...Read More
