      All work but no pay

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent colleagues. Full technology stack to explore. Work from home - but now wfh had become a problem since there's nothing like non work hours now...

      Cons

      - no hike, bonus - people who deliver are rewarded with more work but no perks. - management expects 200% output from underpaid engineers. Understaffed. - excellent colleagues but everyone is so overburdened that people hardly have time to interact with each other. - politics and blame games in desperation.

      Could be a decent company depending on what your priorities are

      Principal software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In my team I have great work life balance. There are plenty of offices all around the country so you can work remotely from other offices if management approves. The engineering peers are very pleasant to deal with.

      Cons

      There are plenty of teams which have high stress jobs. You don't tend to find many young professionals here because of the extremely poor bonuses and hikes (sometimes zero irrespective of performance) once you are hired. Most people stay because they have been in Oracle for 10+ years and have gotten comfortable doing what they do. Hikes are not tied to promotion so I have been promoted thrice but my pay has kind of remained same in the past six years. Most new hires would be paid much higher than me now.
