Solid option but can be stifling
Solid option but can be stifling
Stable. Decent benefits. Good salaries. Company culture is okay; rather friendly. Would recommend as the first choice if you only care about money, otherwise as a backup option.
Not Open Source-friendly, to say the least. A lot of bureaucracy.
Many modern technologies can't be used. NIH syndrome. Vertical culture.
The messages from management feel like marketing and spam instead of sincere communication with colleagues. It didn't feel like management had a high level of trust and respect for employees, compared to some other companies.
In general, it wasn't too bad, just demotivating, inefficient, and sometimes annoying.
Let your engineers use free software with less bureaucracy. Allow them to contribute to the FOSS community. Don't fight the community, join it and earn respect.
Currently, "I worked for Oracle" is not a phrase to say proudly in many circumstances.
