No soul, but a lot of corporate bureaucracy
No soul, but a lot of corporate bureaucracy
- A lot of good learning sources are available for employees.
- All projects I worked on used old technologies. If you are looking to learn how to use some modern tech stacks, forget about this.
- Salaries (at the moment of writing this review) are below average. When people started to talk about that and pointed out that Oracle's competitors have 30-40% higher payments, Oracle did nothing. Someone got a bit of RSUs as a bonus.
- No salary adjustment for inflation.
- In order to get a promotion, you should push yourself very hard. Managers are not willing to give you promotion unless you show some very exclusive achievements.
- Corporate bureaucracy is everywhere.
- You want a new mouse, keyboard, or LED display? Well, forget about that. I almost begged my manager for a new mouse.
- The budget for visiting conferences and workshops is so low that it's barely enough for some paid online event.
- Maybe not a con for everybody, but the teams I worked in had no interactions with other teams around the world.

Software Engineer
Phone screen + 4-round OCI loop interview: two technical and coding, one system design, and one behavioral. Each round was a 1-hour Zoom call. Hackerrank was used for the technical parts. OCI values were an important topic.
Software Engineer
4 rounds: initial screening, technical questions, live coding questions, puzzles, 25 horses question. The first round was with the recruiter. She asked some questions, and then she sent me a skill matrix format and my availability for the interview.
Software Engineer
Biased interviews by incompetent interviewers. No detailed feedback, simply wasting time. Even if you answer all questions correctly and solve all coding tasks, the results will still be oriented by things irrelevant to your expertise and knowledge.
