Oracle reviews

Email overload & overwork due to inadequate processes does happen, you just have to create your own systems to deal with it. Political atmosphere due to thick and entrenched management layers and the light usually doesn't shine through. If you're happy to live in your little cubby hole, it's a decent place to work. If you want to grow, best join a competitor.

This can be a very depersonalizing place to work, with almost everything done under the umbrella of "self-service." Oracle also gives off the impression that they really do not care about you beyond your ability to produce revenue, with even very short periods of bench time (2 weeks, or even less, depending on your boss) being questioned. It is also the place where I heard a senior VP say, "You people need to get over the whole customer thing. Customers are not the most important thing if it doesn't translate to revenue." Also, when you apply, go for the best salary and benefit package you can negotiate, since you won't be getting either bonuses or raises, no matter how well the company does.
