Pros

Oracle University

Health insurance covers the entire family.

Cons

Salary significantly below market rate. They would rather hire Moroccans for free than pay market rates in Turkey.

You are forced to be in a Zoom meeting 24/7 with overworked Indians.

They force you to attend meetings till 9 PM twice a week for no pay.

A more appropriate job title for this position would be "Jira administrator", not "DevOps engineer".

You will not learn anything about Oracle technologies in this position. You are simply an NPC, a cog in the wheel, managing Jira tickets.

No yemek kart.

Normally, I would say "remote work" is a pro, but they use remote work as an excuse to overwork their employees. At least if we came to the office, we could leave as soon as the clock strikes 6 PM.

They make you leave your VPN on the entire day so they can monitor you.

You will rarely have time for a lunch break.
