Advice to Management

OCI used to be amazing. It's now picked up all the bad habits of Amazon with none of the leadership or process improvements and investments. Toxic blame culture with a lack of investment in any technology or automation results in an operational heavy culture with no career growth for teams.

Staffing is a joke. We knowingly underlevel people and then feed them crap and act surprised when they leave. There is no investment made in people or technology. Teams are burnt out running ops loads because the systems are such a mess. If you join (and you really should consider this hard), you will be spending a huge amount of time patching (whilst still being out of date), blowing smoke about your constantly changing priorities because leadership are clueless and constantly flip-flop priorities.

Oh, and to add fun and games, they will RIF entire teams, then try to re-hire and complain bitterly that they can't find qualified resources.
