Minneapolis, MN - Not THE Oracle - just re-badged Retek. And stay away from a group called "S.E."

Pros

It looks good on your resume and in your network. People look up to the Oracle name. After all, it is one of the benchmarks of progress in the information technology field.

Cons

This review is only about the Minneapolis location.

There is really not much about "Oracle" but just an old company called "Retek" that was bought by Oracle in one of its shopping sprees. So, a lot of old, leftover culture (not good) has been retained from the Retek days.

Some managers are just self-centered egoists who spend the whole year only caring about what they can show to their directors and VPs as their accomplishments, at the effort and expense of their employees. They have an authoritative attitude and are partial.

This is especially true with "SE" (Sustaining Engineering) managers that first give a lecture on how there have been orders from the "top" to reduce work from home, yet they would be the ones who work from home the most.
