Oracle – “Another tech Co. loses its' way”

Pros

Work from home option is widely used; benefits are reasonably good. There is not much else to recommended Oracle as a good employer; too much overhead and management levels.

Cons

NO pay raises. No advancement opportunities. Too many management levels; almost no real communication from upper management. Executives get high pay and stock options; workers get nothing. Stock purchase plan for employees is a joke. Morale is non existent at the employee level. We were told on the All-hands calls to quit asking questions about pay raises.

Advice to Senior Management

Give pay raises. Understand that it is now a recession, but there were NO pay raises during the 'fat' years in the past 5-6 years either. Also, replace the computers more often, most users are using 5-6 year old PCs and laptops. Quit using the IT department as guinea pigs for all new software.
