Pros

There's an incredible amount of resources and talent available to help one be successful here. The culture is surprisingly team oriented, with everyone being extremely willing to help one another - even sales people. The value of the brand makes customers want to know more.

Cons

Self-service is their motto when it comes to getting started, Some of this is great, but when help is needed, it's not so easy to find. Lots of processes. Hard to navigate processes.

We love the idea of assigning a mentor. We have shared this with our Onboarding team for future implementation. We agree that the self-service environment, can be challenging to navigate so we are working on improving communications. You will see a huge change in the months to come, starting with our new Explore your Career tool. Thank you for your review.

Pros

The benefits at Oracle are decent. Your job satisfaction will depend upon the group you are in. The hiring process is long and cumbersome, but once at Oracle, you have many opportunities for changing positions and groups. Your salary is however unlikely to keep up with the market.

Cons

This is a large company and it is hard at times to find out who is doing what. Incentives and compensation growth opportunities are depending upon the group in which you are. Some groups are well taken care of while others are not. It is important to be hired with the highest salary you can get. It is common for employees to get their salary readjusted upon being re-hired (after leaving the company for a few years).

Pros

1) Good brand value. But do not join it just because it is Oracle now. 2) Good exposure to banking domain knowledge 3) Good onsite opportunities for freshers who are willing to travel to regions like Africa, middle East. For other regions like JAPAC, America, Europe you can only dream about it as a fresher. Lots of politics involved as nothing at OFSS is based on your performance.

Cons

1) Poor work life balance. Have to work 10-14 hours on daily basis. 2) Work satisfaction is not there. No motivation to work. 3) Very less or no salary hikes. In many regions, they don't give any salary hikes to freshers even after 1 year of hard work. Freshers joining next year will have better salary than the person who already worked in the organization for 1 year. Hike will happen in the name of salary correction. 4) No point in working hard as there are no or single digit salary hikes and bonus also is not calculated on the basis of your performance. 5) No comp-offs on working on weekends. There is no term called Compensatory Off in OFSS. Managers will push you to stay late without any critical work just to satisfy his/her ego. 6) No work from home. Even if you got a company laptop you are not allowed to work from home if you are not feeling well enough to come to office. But they (managers) will shamelessly ask you work from home after office hours. 7) No team lunch, no outing, no cultural activities. HR's are only seen at the time of hiring and exit interviews. No team building activities are done. 8) Very slow growth. No promotions are done even after 2 years of work. 9) No project management skills. Managers will put unnecessary pressure on employee 10) No scope for professional development
