Came from the Cerner acquisition. It still often feels like Cerner 2 years later

Pros

Remote work! Oracle is not pushing return to office. Work-life balance is great here. I also got a bonus for the first time ever, despite my job being easier now than it was under Cerner. Things feel very stable here.

Cons

A lot of Cerner’s old culture persists within Oracle Health (I can’t speak for the other divisions).

It took two years to get a raise after the acquisition. Also, despite being an architect, most truly architectural decisions are still being made by an upper echelon of higher architects and managers.

Post-acquisition, I was paid overtime for a while, but they took it away after a title change.

Advice to Management

Town halls start too early, in my opinion. Also, let’s bring pager pay to everyone who is on call. It makes being paged overnight a bit more bearable.
