Oracle reviews

Never accept a job offer to work in cloud apps! You are risking to be trapped in: - Unhealthy aggressive yet often remote management, including micro-management - Business processes are disorganized, you struggle at every step, no support from departments that are supposed to support - There are many cases when a sales rep wasn't paid a commission (!) - Managers are oftentimes are incompetent and have no idea what are they doing and are absolutely blind and deaf to the feedback from employees - The whole team doesn't have a power against a manager, very old-school boss-employee power exchange - No opportunities to change a career within the organization - No HR-support, everything goes though a manager - Every year there's a complete re-organization - Interests of an employee are never taken into consideration, no one cares what you want and what are your career aspirations - Even the top performers are always pressured and punished

Management has been sitting in the same position for 15-20 years, stuck in a hierarchical and old fashioned way of doing things. They are 10 years behind the rest of Silicon Valley in Benefits. Micromanagement down to the minute you arrive and the minute you leave. Literally mapping out your day for you by the half hour. There is zero trust from management and no real responsibility given. As soon as you meet expectations, they are continually raised until you are broken down. Even in non-sales departments, performance is based on numeral values and meeting numbers. If management does not like you, they will single you out, pick on you, reprimand you for ridiculous personal things and treat you like a child. The pay is at the national average and not raised to meet the Bay Area standards. Pay raises are minimal to none (about 1% if at all). There is absolutely no opportunity for growth or professional development in a position, unless you move laterally to another department. Promotions are very political and are not dependent on your years worked, knowledge or capability, but if they like you. No culture and no feeling of unity. Self Service company with too many confusing sites to get anything answered. The offices at HQ are updated by floor and if your management doesn't want to pay to update it, you are stuck on a dirty, dark 90's floor, in high grey depressing old cubicles, stinky bathrooms and zero natural light (if you don't have an office). Basically, an overall stressful and depressing experience.
