Oracle

You can retire here if you don't want to grow in your role or salary.

1. No hikes, even with the highest stock price in years.
2. You need to work 4-6 hours extra if you want to be considered for promotions.
3. Management does not care about your efforts; they only care about who brown-noses well.
4. More paperwork than actual technical tasks.
5. No oversight for managers; favouritism is huge plus if you want any growth.
6. Outdated and/or internal tech stacks only. No use for moving outside.

Train your managers well, and keep an ear out for engineers who are unsatisfied. Currently, managers look only for their own growth, not anyone reporting to them. Filled with people who have been in the company for a decade but have no actual knowledge.

Hikes need to match inflation at the very least. No or minimal hikes for 2+ years mean that employees can and will leave.
