Q&A With Oracle Employees

Лучший ответ сотрудника

Managers should actually manage PEOPLE. They manage projects, revenue, numbers, etc. But in spite of Oracle's big push for career development, managers are generally not helping their people, either by providing stretch assignments or insights on development. There is no incentive for them to participate in the development of their people; rather, they have certain tasks that need to be done, and if those get done, that is success for them. Creative thought, ambition, and a willingness to go beyond the job description is not rewarded or appreciated.

Oracle does not want to change. It had the worst culture in technology.

Oracle HQ needs a basic course on what devops is and why an engineering culture is vital for success. Oracle thinks their strategy of treating employees badly is somehow going to attract top talent. You’re missing out on billions whilst patting yourselves on the back for what you’re left with. Watch as all these relatively brand new companies outgrow OCI in 5 years because engineers actually want to stay there after a year.

If you are in a closing sales role, if you don't hit 100% of your budget number, don't even think to ask. The raises in Sales are incremental if you are successful.

Don't expect ANY raises. Negotiate well on offer because what you get is it.

Never

There are a lot of people at Oracle that say something like "That is the way we have always done it" This is more than just a saying, it is the corporate philosophy here at Oracle. This leads to challenges when it comes to solving problems. It is also unfortunate that teams are so well silo'd here at Oracle. It is just hard to work together as teams

How poor the leadership team and dual CEO’s are.

The culture is toxic.

Much of the time it is good and flexible. When there is a serious deal or situation with time sensitivity, there is zero balance and one is essentially on-call 24/7. Basically, it's extremes.

The best thing about this company. They are extremely flexible.

Unlimited but most people are too scared to take it

Unlimited vacation, unless you're classified as hourly / OT eligible. If you're in the latter group they force you to take a week of your own vacation every year between Christmas and New Years.

Oracle has an unlimited vacation policy, meaning it is between you and your manager as to how much time you take off. If you get your job done, taking time off is no issue. There is not a specific number of days off per year for vacation anymore, this was a change this year and going forward.

Frustrated and angry

Friendly and disenfranchised.

Лучший ответ сотрудника

Is it cool? Depends on whether you want cool to mean 'hip' or 'acceptable.' Depending on your position and its characteristics, it's sometimes appropriate and sometimes inappropriate. Regardless of whether it's 'cool,' it's not professional. It can make you seem unapproachable, aloof, or withdrawn. If you want to advance at Oracle, be approachable and friendly, dress professionally, work hard, meet your objectives, and try to avoid office politics.

Лучший ответ сотрудника

Less politics; more teamwork. Everyone deflects responsibility.

1– treat us as professionals 2- accept and implement new ideas 3- provide a path to higher pay through success

Very rich company that allows you to wine and dine clients. You will stay at the nicest hotels and everyone around you is sophisticated and an over achiever.

Лучший ответ сотрудника

Business development and strategy, growing sales and consulting services.

Supporting their team and setting realistic objectives ralling moral and support!

Look out for the needs of employees. Provide opportunity for raises. Workers are happier, more productive and remain when cared for.

Лучший ответ сотрудника

Pay increases and bonuses are random, inconsistent, and not tied to performance. Equity is rare/insignificant compared to other companies

Pays a bit lower than the market. Flexibility is also becoming less and less everyday.

Bonus based on contribution. Oracle's HR objectives seems to be to not pay employees for contribution. No salary increase for 16 years.

Лучший ответ сотрудника

You and you alone are responsible for your career development. For daily tasks, it depends on your area. Most people will give an assist if it's reasonable and infrequent.
