Pros

Very flexible work hours Lots of leaves One of the best professional-personal life balance provided within India's IT industry Great brand name to be associated with, for those interested in that

Cons

No proper policy regarding compensation review - totally at management's whim. Compensation review or annual bonus may or may not happen every year - there has not been a salary correction in the past 4 years. Promotions have got nothing to do with performance or seniority. Promotions mean a mere change of official designation and the employee is not benefited in any financial manner. Highly irregular compensation offered - employees within the same team, one with 2 years experience earns more salary than one with six years experience. HR's role is almost invisible in the company. Highest performer and lowest performer within a team ultimately means a difference of 1% in your raise, that too if at all. Pathetic attitude among management towards retaining good performing employees. The ratio of manager:engineer within any team is generally very high - at times there is a manager for every 6 people in a team or even less.

Pros

Autonomy, you can make a difference (as shocking as that seems at such a large company), the people - smart and concerned, Oracle knows how to make money so if you are doing your job you have a job.

Cons

The overhead for getting anything done can be huge. The scope of the problems span so many organizations and people that getting everyone to move to the same beat is daunting. The internal controls are stifling if you have to do HR, Finance, etc.. busy work. Middle senior management does not provide solid direction, while the top seems to know what they are doing - the game of "telephone" from the top down is difficult to execute on.
