Pros

If you are a mid-level professional planning to move to a settled and family lifestyle organization, this is for you.

Less work stress.

A good place for self-learners.

Many low-salary professionals use Oracle as a medium to get a good package, then work for a while before moving to high-paid companies.

No timesheet monitoring.

Campus life is usually better than other locations.

Cons

All the managers have company stocks and work for the organization at least 15 to 20 years.

They have a settled mindset and not much fire with respect to work.

They love to blabber about their families and kids.

You are considered an alien if you are a bachelor.

There is partiality based on the number of years you have been in the team.

Technologically backward.

You cannot clear interviews if you work on Oracle products.

Graduates from IIIT, IIT, NITs, and BITS are better off avoiding joining here, as it's a waste of the starting years of your career. Anyway, you will quit after 2 years.

It's not easy to get promoted to manager because the existing ones won’t move out and they kind of wait for retirement or to get fired for a good bonus.

On the technical side, you can grow till IC4 or maybe IC5.

The focal cycle is not followed strictly, and employees never know if HQ management gives focal or not.

On average, you need to wait for 2.5 years to get a promotion.

Roles like project lead are just for namesake; you will never learn how a project leader should be or never get a chance to lead the team.

Advice to Management

Positions like group managers, directors, senior directors, senior managers, and managers are stagnant. Please replace them with young talent.

When will new water enter if you can't let out old water?

Why can't anyone from IDC become a technical architect?
