Pros

Less work and nothing else

Cons

Reasons to reject Oracle Offer: 1. They hire for market prices and never give hike once employee is in. Not even a consistent single digit hike. This happens at IDC (India) where inflation goes on double digits. 2. Technically they use more in house tools and utilities. That way employees gain skills on that and will not have exposure to any external tools. Technically this company makes u dump. 3. For some divisions they provide laptops for usage and encourage Work from home (one day in a week). Looks Good!!!.. Recently many of my colleagues had issues with IT division on laptop issue and maintenance. They issue old laptops and enforce usage beyond warranty period. Any issue when the laptop is out of warranty "IT division" harass employees mentioning that as physical damage. Finally with some management approvals they fix the issue.. Bad part is still you get to work on the fixed defective laptop which is out of Warranty. One senior manager from "IT division" mentioned that laptop has to run for 3 extra years after warranty (total 5 - 6 years). I dint understand this point, Even manufacturer donot provide warranty beyond 3 years understanding that product can function well only till 3-4 years. Wonder how they expect employees to work with "OUT of warranty" laptops and harass them on top of that.

Pros

Working for Oracle was a huge privilege on my part after graduating from college because of the recession back then, the pay is good for a newly graduated job-hunter, and the benefits are very satisfying. There are extra-curricular activities every-now-and-then which helps unwind the stress.

Cons

The only drawback to working for Oracle is the lack of any career advancement. There doesn't seem to be any way to get promoted and the only option to advance your career is to exit the company. I guess this prevents office politics, but it deteriorates the working experience into feeling somewhat frustrating because you can't progress anywhere. Plus sometimes the management can get pretty unfair.
