The only good thing is work from home policy.

...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.

I have learned a lot at Oracle - both about the software I support as well as how to research problems with that software effectively and how to better solve problems. Immediate managers are good and they do try to work with you on schedules and other things. They are also a go-between - between you and upper management. They are somewhat ineffectual as they don't have any real control over anything. (For example, when a bunch of employees were laid off during Covid, my immediate manager told our group that he was not informed that there were going to be layoffs until the day it happened - in other words - upper management made the decision on which people were being let go - not the immediate managers.) Work/Life balance is great. As an engineer when you leave work - you don't get called about work, or asked to work over time (they don't like to give over time and as an engineer you are paid hourly not salary.) Occasionally you are on call - but you get paid a flat rate for being on call (even if you don't get called) and then if you actually have to work you get paid for the time you had to work on top of the flat rate. Oracle is AWESOME for having a diverse culture (people come from all over to work at Oracle). They support LGBTQ initiatives as well as veterans. I love working there because of the people I meet and work with from all over the world. They are very liberal in these kinds of policies - which is great. Oracle has great health benefits and there is no max sick leave. (Though they do monitor how much sick leave you take.) For managers there is no max on vacation leave. Oracle provides free drinks (coffee, sodas, tea (hot/cold and soda water). And when we were in the office (pre-covid) they did periodically provide lunches and other food. Though this wasn't very often.

...tendance. 401K matching is not as high as I have had it at other companies. I currently work 12 noon to 8PM and get a 10% shift differential on top of my base pay for working those hours. However, Oracle recently announced that they are moving this shift to Mexico (where it is cheaper) and all of us working this shift will have to move to the 7 AM shift - which DOES NOT come with a 10% shift differential and Oracle has told us that we will have to work this earlier shift AND lose the 10% pay at the same time. Oracle does not care about it's employees - they are only out for the all mighty dollar.

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.

No career growth, no salary hike, no job security

Work Life Balance is the only good thing.

...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.

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