Oracle

Oracle is a big company. If you have a godparent to take care of you, your promotion and benefits will be reasonable.

Oracle has some of the worst managers who can do anything they want. HR is mute; they never do anything for the employees unless there is a chance of getting sued.

A senior manager's salary and benefits are equivalent to an application engineer's salary in the industry. Bonus can be 3-5%, and stock options at a senior level can be pathetically low or nil. Oracle is not interested in taking care of its employees, especially in the US.

Not a single employee in the Applications division is happy, which is why the code quality is poor. The turnover rate in Oracle's India development center is one of the highest in the industry, close to 20%.

They should take care of their employees. Ask the employees for their feedback once in a while, then you will know the real story. HR should have some role in employee matters. HR should try to implement their own policies and rules, which they never do. They never help an employee. Employees know that, and that is why they don't go to HR.
