  • Good benefits for Mexico (GMM insurance and minors, grocery vouchers, restaurant, vision, etc.)
  • Flexible hours generally
  • Benefits for taking courses and continuing education
  • Good facilities
  • Good work environment
  • Work-life balance depends on the team
Cons

Below market average salary.

No growth or salary increases.

There is a "nobody knows how it works but I go with the flow" culture when working with old technology where the original dev no longer works at the company and the little (or no) documentation is insufficient.

Talent drain is a problem that management is aware of but does nothing about.

Overtime is unpaid and sometimes expected.

They are more focused on hiring new people than retaining talent that has been with the company for years.

Depending on the team, the work can be meaningful and interesting or very boring.

For the most part, senior developers are overqualified for the position.

Advice to Management

Es bien sabido que Oracle tiene problemas en retener el talento. Tengan un poco de congruencia e inviertan en sus empleados con basta experiencia en lugar de estar 100% enfocados contratando recién egresados con sueldos bajos.
