Oracle

1. Good work-life balance and work-from-home option.
2. Flexible timings.
3. Good company for managers and senior roles only.

1. Usually no hikes. You never know when you will get a hike, and even if you get one, it will be a single-digit hike only. They pay you well when they release an offer, but after that, you don't see any hikes.

2. No career growth at all and no learning curve.

3. If you want to stay abreast of technologies, never join this company. You will get stupid work like bug fixing and production support tasks only, as most of their products are very old and long-running projects. For developers, there is no good work at all, and they will put you on multiple products, ask you to work, and expect a lot.

4. No one cares about the employee, including your manager. You don't even know your HR. HR is for the name's sake, and they won't be in touch with you at all. If there is any issue, you can't even raise your voice since there is no transparency in the company.

5. They acquire companies like anything. When they feel there is no revenue from the GBU, they simply lay off people.

6. No clear roadmaps on the products and business. Employees will never understand what their career growth is.

Value your employees and their aspirations; don't play with their careers.
