A difficult place to work, but it does have some upsides
A difficult place to work, but it does have some upsides
Benefits (health insurance, company facilities) are excellent. Great work/life balance. Great, collegial, cordial, friendly environments. If you land in a great org, it's important to stay there because bad ones abound. Oracle is big on telecommuting. Very little "big-brother" mentality from the corporate level. Walks the walk on diversity in the workplace.
- Outrageous levels of worthless management (3-4 VPs deep in some places).
- Non-competitive salaries and COLA, even if you are a rock star.
- Promotions happening regularly in management; extremely rare among individual contributors.
- In some orgs, extreme micromanagement.
- Many US-side headcounts replaced by multiple bodies in India.
Please take an interest in the career paths and compensation for worker bees, not just management. Oracle doesn't seem keen on retaining talent at all.
