Oracle

I have been with Oracle for almost 9 years now. Peers have a wealth of knowledge, and this intellectual capital that is shared internally is one of the main reasons I stay here. Benefits are solid, especially if you pay for the premium benefits, which are pricey.

I have not received a raise in the almost 9 years I have been here, but fortunately, I negotiated well when I came in at the top of the range. I am an hourly employee, and there is enough overtime to keep me here from a financial perspective. I was basically told by my immediate management that I am paid too much and to not expect a raise EVER.

Let's face it. It is all about making the senior level management and major stockholders even more wealthy, and we the worker bees are only here to line those pockets. This attitude trickles down the management chain, and you are basically told that it is all about margins. It's basically a classic case of corporate greed prevails!
