Oracle Corp. Reviews
What is it like working at Oracle Corp.?
January 2019
"Great potential."
Account Director in London:
Pros: Supportive environment
Cons: Quarterly sales targets
June 2020
"Challenging."
Knowledge Analyst in Brno:
Pros: My colleagues
Cons: It was a long journey before my salary started to grow to be aligned with the company standards.
April 2015
Applications Engineer:
Pros: Corporate culture, work flexibility, Job Security, Good learning.
Cons: Absolutely ZERO hike for 3-5 years.. Very minimal 10-15k bonus in 3-5 years.
June 2016
"Challenging job; company very tightly controlled."
Senior Principal Engineer:
Pros: Challenging work.
Many very sharp colleagues to work with.
Cons: Oracle is stingy about supplying employees the tools they need to do their job. For example, even for *engineers*, it only provides mid-range Windows laptops, whereas in our part of the company we need Unix-based, higher-end computers. Many of us end up spending $2500 out of our own pockets to supply the "tools" we need to do our jobs.
The other thing I dislike is that the company operates very "top-down" -- decisions are made on top, pushed down, and must be accepted without question. No reasons are given for the decisions, and no appeals are tolerated. There is no transparency; it feels like upper management is saying "we're the parents and you are the children, *that's* why; we don't need to explain our decisions". I'd expect that in the military, but not in a corporation.
