Oracle Reviews

I worked at Oracle full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Decent salary for Bozeman, MT. Good benefits, possibility to work remotely.

Cons – Management is too focused on outsourcing. Most new openings are in India which seems to be an apparent trend across the development. Quality of work is decreasing proportionally.

Advice to Senior Management – Think about American economy, not just the company's profit. Stop outsourcing. You get what you pay for.

I have been working at Oracle full-time for more than a year

Pros – Oracle provides competitive pay and benefits. Depending on the organization you are in, there may be opportunities for growth and promotion into management.

Cons – Support for engineers to do their jobs well is minimal. Senior management generally cares more about costs rather than providing adequate tools to their developers. Also, Oracle requires that their developers use a proprietary source control system, which lacks many features that would be standard in open source options.

Pros – Great people in most of the teams
Work from home if needed
Gym
Facilities

Cons – Good performance is not rewarded
You have to quit Oracle and comeback for a salary increase
Employees are not given a decent raise or bonus in years
Frequently freezes promotions and raises and bonuses

Advice to Senior Management – Very top heavy and some in top management are too shy to meet their own teams and also customers, which doesn't make sense considering their titles.

Pros – Best place to learn Oracle technology. Anywhere from database, middle-tier, to applications, hardware, education and even consulting.

Cons – You are on your own most of the time. So progress and development is pretty much up to the individual. There is no mentor program and bonuses are few and fare between.
