Senior Java Software Developer - Nice place, nice friends, but boring

Principal applications engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Work Schedule Good Benefits Nice Salary

Cons

Everything takes so long because of the rigid process. Hard to introduce new technologies. It's ironic that being one of the biggest IT companies in the world, the project where I am have technologies from 10 years ago and people refuse to change that, which have a huge impact on what is delivered.

Principal applications engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Very good work-life balance - Good career growth - Excellent exposure to Oracle technologies

Cons

- Hike / bonus cycle may or may not happen evey year - Hikes are always single digit; hardly double. - Promotions are not linked to salary hikes - Appraisal is not linked to salary hike To sum it up ; once you join nothing can garuntee you that you will get any hike /salary change. You may get same salary after n years of service. Yours junior/campus joinee WILL always make more money than you :)
