Pros

Flexible work and good work-life balance.

Cons

No hikes, no proper bonus. There are a lot of managers, directors, and VPs. At Oracle, even an 8-year experienced person can become a senior manager. They compensate good performers through promotion rather than salary.

Advice to Management

Have a sensible ratio of managers, directors, or VPs to employees. I used to work close to the cafeteria, so most so-called management guys would loiter for hours.
