Oracle Principal Member of Technical Staff reviews

Lots of politics (including cultural clashes) due to large size and multiple layers of management. No true culture of innovation. Has to resort to buying smaller companies. Destroys/pollutes many products bought eventually leading to decay in quality and loss of position in industry.

Some old style managers still have issues even with few work from home days. Some politics. Salary is slightly below industry standard and raises/bonuses are only once per year (if at all) and that too amount is usually on the lower side of 0-10%. ESPP is not attractive at all. No standards on team events. Some seem to have frequent outings, birthday celebrations, food for team, ice-creams; Other teams have almost none.
