Oracle reviews

Mess up? prepare for hell and daily threats of getting fired with reminders of how useless you are. Their training programs are ineffective, you only learn from yourself or your peers, you have to pave your own way. It doesn't get any more traditional in terms of climbing up the ladder here, You have to keep a bragging report of your achievements, and network your way in. And people have to like you to get promoted, your numbers are not enough.. people with less achievements have gotten early promos that don't make sense. Stress is insane here.. you can see fear in your manager's eyes and tone... Your managers will tell you one thing and deny it the second their upper manager tells them otherwise because everyone is THAT afraid to make a mistake here. Employee Morale is continuously surprising us how low it can go, Goooooooooooood luck :) Also forget bout taking holidays because you'll need the numbers to prove it & even if you're fine.. you'll be terrified about how to compensate the days 'wasted' on rest.

It's a well known "secret" that the only way to get a pay increase is to leave the company, then get rehired for the same role as an "outside hire." This is mind-boggling and leads to a massive brain drain throughout the year. One reason for this is because bonuses and raises are not a thing; you do not have a performance review and there are no career milestones to work towards (leading to, effectively, a dead-end job). Finally, most operation teams are seriously overworked. This is caused by people leaving (probably to seek more pay) and management "temporarily" giving their workload to someone else on the team while they "find a replacement." This never happens; I know some teams that shrank from 10 to 6 analysts and stayed like that for years. And no, we do not get more pay with these increased workloads (trust me, I've asked)
