Pros

Most products and services at OCI are still relatively young compared to competitors (AWS, Azure, Google).

This is good, as you have plenty of opportunity to have an impact and influence change.

Competitive salaries.

Cons

Benefits list is lacking compared to competitors.

Career growth/promotions are slow.

Younger services mean more hours worked, making them stable.

Advice to Management

Having rules like regardless of performance, no one can be promoted prior to one year is insane and costs your talent. Additionally, disregarding first-line manager and skip-level manager performance reports, and adjusting a performance rating at the SVP level in order to save on performance rewards, is shady. Keep that up, and AWS and Microsoft will be praising you for all the great talent you're sending them.
