Strong technology exposure, but poor work-life balance and stressful culture
Pros
Exposure to enterprise-scale database and cloud technologies (Oracle RAC, ASM, Data Guard, GoldenGate, PostgreSQL, cloud migrations). Brand recognition that adds credibility to your profile. Opportunities to work with highly skilled technical teams. Access to internal resources and certifications.
Cons
Work-life balance is almost non-existent — employees often end up working 16–18 hours a day, including weekends, with no additional compensation. Micromanagement culture — managers closely control every detail, leaving little room for autonomy or creativity. High stress levels throughout the tenure due to unrealistic expectations and constant pressure. Frequent reorganizations and layoffs create instability. Career growth depends heavily on being in the “right” team or business unit.
