Oracle

Banking domain knowledge. Excellent exposure to some of the latest avenues in the banking and financial sector.

Highly egotistical and uncooperative middle-level and senior management. People with more than 8-10 years in the company treat laterals and freshers as if they are the owners of the organization and they have hired some slaves to work for them.

Except for a few, most of the managers would have a highly egotistical attitude.

• Very bad work culture and environment.
• The Kernel development wing is not having correct processes and methods to be followed for a development activity. Beware before joining into Kernel. They will fool you by saying it's R&D. Let's not get into that trap. Consulting is recommended as it has a little better work culture.
• Just the name has changed from i-Flex to Oracle, but trust me, there is no sign of the company being Oracle.
• Managers would always be keenly interested in knowing the salary that you have been offered as a lateral and would always keep on asking you about that. I don't think it happens anywhere in any company because the negotiations and your offer remain confidential between you and the HR department of the company.
• Very low onsite remunerations. It's not even 60 US dollars a day.
• Appraisals and hikes are supposed to be done and reflected from April. In most of the companies, if not April, it gets reflected till May-June, but here, don't expect it to be done even till September or, say, maybe October of the year.

No advice can be helpful to bring out the organization as close to its peers in the industry. A simply incorrigible bunch of stupids sitting at the senior and middle management level, who always feel as if they have done more than enough in their lives and are highly egotistical.
