Office Politics: Internal politics strongly influence career progression. Decisions are often driven by favoritism rather than merit.
Lack of Growth & Recognition: Even employees who consistently exceed performance expectations are often denied promotions or salary increments for more than 4-5 years. There's no structured feedbacck, or path for advancement.
Leadership Gaps: Many leadership positions are filled by default, not merit. Several leaders lack the vision, people management skills, or technical competence expected for their roles.
Oracle-Centric Leadership Mindset: A significant portion of leadership comes from an Oracle background and tends to operate with a narrow, Oracle-first mindset. This limits innovation and ignores the value and expertise of professionals from other technology and business domains. Talented individuals from non-Oracle backgrounds often feel sidelined or undervalued.
Selective Reward System: Increments and recognition are selectively awarded (again not so very often), leading to demotivation among high performers.
Toxic Evaluation Culture: Leadership can be extremely judgmental, often attributing failures if any, solely to subordinates without taking accountability.
Poor Engagement: There's a lack of transparent communication or engagement from leadership. Feedback is rarely welcomed or acted upon.
No Culture of Openness: Constructive criticism or honest discussion is discouraged. Leadership is resistant to feedback, and dissenting opinions are often sidelined.
