Pros

I worked for Oracle's department, which was formerly Sun Microsystems.

  • Very good working environment (big office, convenient layout)
  • The best management I've ever seen. They could create a very rare type of working culture. They didn't make people work; many people worked 10-12 hours a day just because they really felt work as a part of life.
  • Very skilled colleagues. Here, one could learn many new things, not only about Java.
Cons

After introducing sanctions against Russia, Oracle had to start exiting from Russia. This is very bad news for both Oracle and Russia.

As a big company, it was very difficult to grow in Oracle. It was easier to quit and come to a new position than grow.

Advice to Management

Managers, you were the best! It is a pity that you couldn't preserve Oracle SPbDC. I wish you good luck and hope we'll work together again once upon a time.
