Pros
  • Stable company
  • Good medical benefits
  • Flexible working hours
  • Work-life balance
  • Management does make an effort to listen to employees' concerns and tries to address them within their power.
Cons
  • No clear strategy.
  • Being part of a company that was acquired, culture differences with bigger Oracle still happen.
  • Tries to reinvent the wheel with unsatisfying results (e.g., software tools and frameworks).
  • Working with offshore resources demands more time and effort (rework).
  • Approval chains to get something done hinder creativity.
Advice to Management
  • Scrutinize gains we get from working with offshore resources.
  • Stop making employees use internal software tools when there are better ones available.
