Oracle

Really no pros of working at Oracle, apart from having a big company on your CV.

Remote work.

Not sure where to start, but there are many things that are so wrong, especially for a big company such as Oracle. Management is not empathetic at all with the engineers; they will try to squeeze as much work as they can for free. If you end up working for OCI in the UK, you'll just be part of a support team doing on-call shifts and doing basic bug-fixing work.

On-call is a full 84-hour week, which you are expected to work with no extra compensation. If there is an incident, those hours might increase further. Deployment processes are extremely slow.

If you're eager to learn, this is the wrong place for you. Instead, if you want to have a stagnant career, you'll love this place.

• No clear plan on how promotions work.
• No bonuses or salary increases according to inflation.

Boring place to work, no real learning opportunities, as all new features and design docs come from engineers in the US.

Care about the people that work for you instead of trying to exploit them as much as you can. Listen to the people that work for you; listen to their suggestions, regardless of experience level.
