Pros

How can Oracle have any pros when it puts an employee at a health risk during the coronavirus pandemic. Shame on you Oracle.

Cons

Firstly, let me say – The HR folks at Oracle have no control of their duties and the VP (My manager) considers himself above all company policies, compliance acts, rules, and regulations. The HR folks are mere puppets who tolerate the whims and fancies of the VP. HR keeps a blind eye as they have no control at all. The VP intervenes in tasks that do not concern his duties and HR allows the VP to do whatever the VP wants. (The VP referred here is my manager) Corona Virus pandemic hit us unexpectedly and my wife delivered our first baby when the virus was spreading rapidly. So, we were even more cautious and didn’t step out of the house unless and until it was an emergency ensuring the safety of our newborn child, avoided all travel, and didn’t allow anyone to enter our house in Bangalore. I accepted another job offer during the pandemic and I put down my papers by informing my manager who sits at a VP level as mentioned earlier. After I put down my papers, I was told by my manager to coordinate with Mr. X to do the company asset (Laptop and accessories) handover formalities on my last day. I did the same and the company asset handover was finalized with Mr. X to be done at the nearest Oracle premises near my house. I was happy that I had confirmed and finalized the asset submission at the Oracle office which was close to my residence considering the coronavirus situation that was creating havoc in Bangalore and is still creating havoc. On my second last day at Oracle, my manager informs me that I must submit the company assets to the Oracle office which is very far from my residence, and the reason he states is that he prefers to have all assets in one place. This is even after I had confirmed the asset submission to the Oracle office that was close to my residence and even after I had requested to allow me to submit the company assets to the Oracle office close to my residence due to the corona situation in Bangalore. See the sadist behavior of my manager – He first informs me when I put down my papers to coordinate with X and do the asset handover formalities and on the second last day he intervenes and says to submit to the Oracle office that is far from my residence. The HR folks were just mere spectators, but they didn’t even bother to intervene. Every company across the globe is putting its best foot forward to ensure the safety of its employees as its core priority. But Oracle ensured that I am harassed and tortured mentally during the pandemic time. I wonder how such companies and managers can put someone’s life at a risk. Not only that, but my manager also wanted me to go out and exchange my laptop charger with another team member and wanted me to submit my team member's broken charger on my last working day to Oracle. I refused to exchange as I wanted to avoid meeting anyone during the pandemic and, I didn’t want to do any fraudulent activity by submitting a broken company asset back to the company. I was mentally harassed and tortured by this incident and I raised the harassment complaint to the top officials including the CEO. I hope the reality of the Corona Virus situation sinks into them and hopefully they realize how difficult it is to face such harassment from sadist managers and incompetent HR folks. The HR person who contacted me didn’t even have the courtesy to apologize for what happened and was arrogant when talking to me on such a serious sensitive issue. Instead of focusing on the harassment issue that I raised, they were interested in knowing whether I have a “PROBLEM” with my manager. See how sad their mentality is and how they are handling the harassment issue that I raised. I am glad that I resigned from this toxic company which put me and my family at a health risk during this corona virus pandemic. Shame on you Oracle.

Pros

Great benefits; overall culture in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure org of Oracle is community-focused (which encourages team communications and transparency); relatively easy to transfer between teams as desired; options to work remotely, post-COVID; many projects available to work on, so your career can be a bit self-directed by team; a good measure of autonomy.

Cons

Persistent issues with top-down communication and direction; no practical support or training for managers, so many poor ones here; whistleblowers tend to be punished; review and promotion system is very broken (and was skipped entirely in 2020), leading to a lot of resentment and frustration; focus on hiring devs from competitors over hiring quality candidates where needed in the business is also causing resentment and frustration; suffers from the same sexism issues as most of tech (women rarely promoted into leadership, women paid less than their male counterparts); high-level execs seems disconnected from reality and their employees (one recently announced that "cost of living has gone down this year" as justification for no one below a specific managerial level getting COLAs).

Pros

- Great introduction into the business world - Looks great on your resume - Work at a Fortune 100 Company - Great facilities, decent benefits - Great pay for entry level - Great opportunities for SALES POSITIONS ONLY

Cons

- Bro culture - Drinking and partying culture that is really just to test people while also encouraging people to never grow up and act like a college kid still - Lack of diversity in thought and in people. White bros everywhere. - Experienced harassment and had to listen to inappropriate, HR violating conversations throughout the sales floor. - Mental health may take a toll in this environment plus you are doing the exact same thing every day hoping to achieve different results... AKA the definition of insanity. - You are literally treated like a pawn in a big game. And you have no control over it and no say in it. Your voice is not likely to be heard. - "The only constant at Oracle is change" - they tell you that on day one and they are right. Every fiscal year they flip the company upside down and I went a whole month and a half to get paid to sit on my butt because I didn't have a manager, team, or job function assigned. - No opportunity to move across departments/lines of business. - Management and co-workers are all young: fresh out of college or in their early 20s. Need more diversity in thought with mixing age groups. - You will feel like you're stuck in college or worse, high school, with the amount of watercooler gossiping and mind tricks that management likes to play.
