Oracle Project Manager reviews

Plug & Play of personnel. Lack of communication or rational performance reviews, but to be expected when you have 5 managers in 3 years. Consulting reorganizes minimum of yearly, sometimes twice a year and you have to interview for your new position (way of getting people out). Also trying to outsource consulting to India and subcontractors, where often half or more of the project is with people that know the applications, but not the tools or methodologies.

It has a huge beauracracy. Things move at a snail's pace as compared to other companies I've been employed at. Each small group assumes that their particular "process" is what is used throughout Oracle. Yet, if you ask 25 different teams on what to do, you'll get 25 different answers. Very centralized decision making. Little, to no, power given to lower level management, hence everyone waits for one of the top few executives to decide on something, even on the most meaningless of changes or opportunities. This results in very little "ownership" of one's job or work effort.
