Oracle Principal salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

My entry into Oracle was after having 21 yrs of work experience and joined at Leadership level which was perfect timing for my career level and experience. Oracle is technology and entrepreneurial driven company and has huge potential for anyone with technical acumen and ready to learn attitude.

Dislikes

Oracle had some issue with compensation increase policy and thus it tends to trigger employees towards exit option but recently they have been working on those challenges and addressing them. Reason I came out from Oracle was not just because of compensation issue but wanted to transition towards Data Science and AI domain with full commitment.

1. No salary hike in 5 years, i.e. since the time I joined. Just the excuse "we dont have budget" 2. Taking a leave or even 2 hours off the manager makes you feel as though you're stealing from his house. 3. No Training, they say they dont have budget for it. If somehow one enrolls they are frowned upon by managers "is the training relevant to our work" . Not to mention the daily and weekly updates you need to share after the trainings. 4. Managers and directors feel they are working on rocket science. Working with them feels like working with daily wagers.

..., but the company does not reciprocate with fair financial growth or motivation. I strongly believe Oracle has the potential to retain talent by valuing employees’ efforts through better pay structures. Until this is addressed, it becomes challenging to feel appreciated and stay motivatated. Really disappointed with oracle on this.

Work Life Balance is the only good thing.

Dislikes

...Only boot lickers with no attitude towards work are promoted. Too much politics. 2 - 6% salary hike, worst among all the organizations. 3 - Management is just for name and politics, even VP doesn't know how the increment is done and how much fund will be given to the specific team. These decisions are made at SVP level which is too bad. They don't have a vision of how people will be promoted, they only aim for their profit and their own salary share. 4 - Managers highlight a simple work of a boot lockers as if he conquered the Himalayas. Opportunities are also given to those people only.

Higher management is too much knowledgeable to understand problem and guide junior people to resolve any challenges. As well as they take each resources with their personal life priority.

Dislikes

Salary hike is too low or there is not streamline process to beat inflation each year.
