Pros

The work quality is very good, as fresher you get to learn good amount.

Cons

Very bad compensation, juniors earn upto 50% more than you , no appreciation from upper management even you work more than 12 Hrs average every day. Too much workload.

Pros

Working at Oracle was by far the best job and team that I have ever had and I probably never will find better. The problem though is the management refuses to adjust pay regardless of personal drive, training, dedication, performance, or personal financial hardship. In the end, I could not afford to stay and work for 70-80% of my market worth so I had to move on. Miss the job and the team but definitely not the paycheck.

Pluses:

Low Stress
Slow Pace
Great Team
Line managers in HQ were honest, nice, genuine people but their hands were tied and they had little more authority than approving timecards and basic expense reports.
Expensed dinners
Expensed cel phone and home internet.
Home VOIP phone line.
Hourly pay in industry that's mainly salary.
Outstanding health plans

Cons

I can sum it up simply. I loved my job and teammates at Oracle but was forced to leave because, after 6 years, my base pay was bottom 10% of the market per salary.com. With aggressive OT leverage, I got up to 80% of my market worth but was seen as a bad person who was abusing the system for not settling for 60% of my market worth.
Also, I promoted up from within but was trained in a very pigeon-holed manner by design to prevent me from being too marketable on the outside. There was no reason for this though because our team as a whole covered most of the bases that most other companies would expect each individual to know. When I left, I literally had to change career paths within the industry because going for the same job title ended with a never ending trail of closed doors and failed interviews.
