Senior Applications Engineer • Current Employee
Pros: - You will get good work and learning experience.
- You will get an opportunity to work on challenging tasks.
- Good work-life balance and flexible timings.
- Medical insurance policy for employees.
- Major product release party once a year.
- Quarterly employee awards (certificate) for motivating employees.
- You get 15 paid leaves + 10 (sick + casual leaves) in a year.
- Good brand value in the market if planning to do higher studies.
Cons: - Ratings are not related to hikes (an outstanding rating may not get any hike).
- No change in compensation or salary structure on promotion, no market correction, no hike for three to four years.
- HR is not aware of most Oracle policies and is not able to help people.
- No onsite opportunities for employees, only a few for upper management (based on actual salary), with no benefits.
- Senior management does not provide a platform to discuss employee issues.
- Hiring is driven by money, not by talent; they prefer to hire a low-cost resource instead of one with the required skill set.
- Onshore resources are treated well and heard, but not offshore resources.
- Huge discrepancies in salaries of employees at the same level.
- Higher studies/paid trainings for freshers are not approved easily. You have to be in a managerial role to justify the sponsorship of an MBA course.
