Brilliant People, Cutting Edge
Brilliant People, Cutting Edge
Oracle has some of the most brilliant people I've ever worked with and an excellent working environment. It's not as sexy as Google or Facebook, but we are working on cutting-edge stuff, and I feel like the people I work with are some of the smartest in the field.
Many of us have turned down or left jobs at the big Silicon Valley places because we didn't want to live on the West Coast or do government crap.
I still feel like I have a ton of stuff to learn, and there are a ton of cool new things on the horizon to build. I've peeked around at the other top places in the area, and none have impressed me or offered me anything I don't have right now.
One uniquely nice thing about Oracle is that when people say cool stuff is going to happen "in a few months," it actually does happen in a few months. I feel like our upper management is really advocating for us.
Oracle Cloud sucks, and we're obviously stuck with it. The legal department is pretty much a waste of air and water, but what legal department isn't?
Please don't read Glassdoor for management advice.

I talked to a recruiter and never heard from them again. I thought it went well; they asked me what year I graduated college, which was 1989. That was the end of it. It was an illegal question, too!
