Oracle

• Enjoy working with my co-workers
• Flexible work/life balance
• Management within our office attempts to maintain morale and culture

• No promotions or raises through 2 cycles of reviews throughout our office (after being acquired).
• Furlough of our PTO to save money, then 41% raises for CEOs are announced.
• Internal tools are dated, riddled with bugs, and do not meet needs.
• External tools are taken away for inadequate internal replacements.
• "Self-service" tools and mentality leave employees with no IT support or assistance.
• Bureaucracy, internal process, and legal hoops make it impossible to accomplish anything in a timely manner.

Acquiring company after company after company with no investment afterwards isn't going to produce success and is not a sustainable way to make money.

To keep up with the rest of the tech industry, you need to bring your standards, benefits, values, and pay up to par with these other big companies around you.
