Oracle reviews

- Some of the groups are modern sweatshops. Made people work 16 hrs across globe and weekends, but wont compensate anything..no raise or bonus of options for most of the employees. - Poor salary. New college hires will get more salary than an employ worked for 10yrs in some of the groups. - Some of the groups are heavely into process. They even forget what the processes are created for. Career - Promotions are given as replacement for benefits. If you know the management well you can get a nice title. Snr Management is rewarded at the cost of hard working employees. If you want to retire - this is the best place. 20% of the employees work like dogs, 80% is enjoy their life. its like big Federal Govt office. Innovation, creativity - non existent. Some of the management runs their groups like their kingdom. Rules are made on the fly.. HR has no role - Unless a manager want to screw up some employee. Then HR will in the forefront to help the manager. Customer support - Sucks big time. Most products are buggy because of over worked and low moral on employe side.

- HOLY POLITICS! I've never experienced anything like what it is at Oracle. If you can't handle spending 5-10 hours per week keeping up on all the BS involved, don't come here. - You make less money the longer you're there and there's really nothing you can do about it. - This is not a career... it's the START of a career. You won't be here in 3 years that's for sure. You'll be managed out and/or just generally unhappy.
