Oracle reviews

- No one knows what anyone is doing, on their team or any other team - Many duplicated projects and efforts since as I just pointed out, no one talks to other teams - Pay isn't competitive on many teams; many orgs simply tell you upfront that you will never receive a bonus or promotion. It’s part of the reason a ton of teams flat out do not give performance reviews (so you can never get a bonus or promotion) - Technology in general is outdated and slowly trailing behind whatever Microsoft, AWS, Google are doing (by a few years) - A lot of people from acquired companies or who just somehow survived a thousand layoffs stick around and still seem to operate with the same skill set they had in 1992. tons of folks on technical teams without a technical aptitude. - Rebranding happens at a dizzying pace, which makes the company look pretty disorganized (because shocker, it is!) - Women are paid far less than men, to the point there’s a large class action lawsuit about it. - In general, a lot of HR violations happening on a near-constant basis. - Directors and execs generally are dishonest about what's coming down the pike. Layoffs happen VERY OFTEN, they know in advance and will never give warning. Entire teams will suddenly disappear and never be spoken of again. The layoff-a-thon will never end at this company. Beware.

Management has done little to bolster employee morale. Last year, in our most successful year of revenue growth ever, management opted not to give raises. This year hasn't been as strong as last, so raises are once again out the window. The technology we're given to work with is terrible. Internal tools constantly break, and instead of hiring development resources to fix them we're only focused on revenue growth. Client facing employees like me are constantly tasked with making excuses for why nothing works. Management consistently makes decisions that put Oracle shareholders first and our clients and employees a distant second. Bureaucracy and fear of legal liability hog ties everything we do, and it's a generally unpleasant, soul-sucking company to work for day to day.
