Oracle

Insurance, benefits, stability, networking, name recognition.

Literally everything else. This business model is long outdated. Not a good place to work.

Oracle is a black hole of a career move. Upward mobility is possible, but do not expect to get paid more than what you were currently making.

I have seen it dozens of times in my 10+ yrs at Oracle – a terrific employee forced to leave because there is no way to get a significant raise.

I have not had a cost-of-living salary increase in at least 5 yrs. There is no recognition, morale is low, and it is a horrible way to treat employees.

I contrast the culture within Oracle to that of other tech companies in the area, and it is completely different. At Oracle, employees are treated as assets and numbers. The enormity and power of the company drown out the individual.

I am finally looking to get out from under Oracle. It keeps you in with a sense of security, and the next thing you know, a decade has passed and you're in the same spot.

Avoid Oracle.
