Pros

Oracle India gives a friendly environment for people to work and increase their expertise. The managers are non intrusive to work and generally do not put much pressure on the employees. In Development teams, the people are technically sound and its a great learning experience overall. In this recessing global economy , Oracle India has managed to ward off any significant layoffs. The work life balance is something valued by even the managers and unless hard pressed they expect their employees to finish off the work in stipulated time to avoid long hours in office. There is hardly any weekend culture present in the Organization.

Cons

Unless a dedicated effort is put by the individuals , there is a significant risk of loosing out in technology when compared with the employees of other companies. The laid back approach may be frustrating at time. However I am yet to disclose the biggest downside.. It is the compensation , largely due the disparity in salary for an entry level employee to an experienced employee. Bonuses are also less and are rarely distributed. There has been no hike for more than an year.

Pros

Oracle has a good brand recognition. you marketability increases, when you are looking or job. good work life balance (this is a downside too. you can sit in Oracle for many years without doing anything) There is opportunity to move with Oracle. You can move from engg to consulting to sales You can work at Oracle if you just want to collect salary and not do any real work

Cons

crappy middle management in applications division. culture is centered around pleasing manager and not doing the right thing or real work. work here if you can "thrive" in Oracle's corporate culture which requires you to have no consciousness or honesty
