Pros

The best thing about Oracle India is the work culture. Flexi timings (decide your own schedule and amount want to spend in office), work from home facility when needed, meetings mostly over the phone and the management is usually supportive about vacations and leaves, but may vary from manager to manager. Work and personal life balance is great, and working on weekends is not encouraged or expected here, as it may be many other companies. Well work and challenges may vary from team to team, but you will surely find a wide range of opportunities to choose from, Oracle being the second largest software product company.

Cons

Promotions and appraisals is not as transparent as you would want it to be. It is usually at the the whim of the manager and compensations might vary widely for the same level. There is no reverse feedback which sometimes might have a lot of negative implications for a subordinate stuck under a inconsiderate manager.

Pros

One of the few Product development companies around. Starting off as a junior engineer an employee can rise up to managerial positions fairly quickly. Opportunity to move within groups exists. Oracle India has product development, consulting, release management, technical sales, demo services, sales and many other job roles. After acquiring a host of companies, opportunity to work on many other interesting products like Essbase and Weblogic is also a possibility. Consulting Orgs provide opportunity to travel to different parts of the world. Oracle also provides educational benefits like tuition reimbursement. Oracle's facilities both in Hyd and Blr has a well equipped gym and a decent cafeteria.

Cons

Oracle unlike SAP or Cisco is driven out of the Headquarters. Not much scope for growth. While the growth to Sr Mgr can be quite fast ( if you are good), higher levels of growth may not happen. SAP with its own campus also makes sure that the board visits its India offices every year. Cisco has made sure that senior executives in the levels of a VP are encouraged to relocate to India. This creates a culture here akin to the culture in San Jose. Same is the case with Intel where senior managers were asked to relocate to India.

Pros

Work/Life balance and medical benefits are excellent. It was close to home for me, so commute was plus. The company offers stability compared to small/mid size company in the bay area. It's a good place to start your career but not a great place to stay for more than 2-3 years.

Cons

Lack of opportunity for advancement of one's career. No concrete process in place to measure performance and compensation against competition.
