2.0
Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook
Pros
  1. I joined with a good salary above market standards.
  2. Good environment to learn coding.
  3. Brand name (though it is in no way equal to Oracle standards).
Cons
  1. Hectic targets and the need to complete releases within a very short period.
  2. Very poor top management and appraisal process, which is fully based on your relationship with the manager.
  3. Very long working hours and weekend office time.
  4. Lots of people have left the company during the last year, so it is very tough for laterals to understand the business and complete the work.
  5. Do not join as a lateral now to avoid mental pressure.
  6. Most of the guys who joined with me have left the company within a 6-month period, but I managed to survive to save my profile and to avoid a short jump to another company.
  7. I am personally affected a lot because of mental stress and will definitely change the company at the last moment I can hold.
Advice to Management
  1. Retain employees
  2. Improve work-life balance.
