...er is god type of company, forcing people to use their crappy proprietary techs. No hike, no promotion, no growth for decades. This is like a graveyard. Once you are in, you can never get a new job as you are obsolete in the market.

Worst company on the planet. It did not give salary hike to Indian employed for last 4 years. Once you join Oracle , you become outdated for outside because this company still works in outdated technologies.
