Oracle Employee Review

TOXIC TOXIC ABUSIVE - see Cons section

  • Friday, November 8, 2024
  • Burlington, MA

Pros

Easy work and a hybrid schedule

Cons

My boss in the Burlington office would scream and spit in my face so much that'd he get red and sweaty (and he was very intimidating). It was scary. After the first time he said HR wouldnt do anything and that I was stuck with him for at least 2yrs, so I may as well buckle up. I hate him so much that I allowed him to degrade me worse than a schoolyard bully. He'd say things like, I hate you, you're the worst, I can't stand you... I should have gotten him fired but I was afraid. When I left the org, I told HR and she didn't care. That HR is their to protect the company and its lifers, not you. My advice is to get a job there, don't be #1 or you'll get noticed, just keep low for 2-3yrs then quit for a better money & culture.

Comments

Stop allowing bullies to work for you. Oracle is KNOWN as the toxic company. Good for you that you have a mafia-grip on F500 data centers, that won't last forever. Fix your brand by cleaning house from the BDR to Senior VPs.

    Pros: Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).
    Cons: They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.

    Relax on the multi-million dollar VP salaries and bonuses for a few years so that you can reinvest in your employees. It's obscene how a company will not try to retain it's employees who play the most pivotal part in bringing in the money that you horde from them.

    Pros: Great company name to put on a resume. CIO's and other high-up personnel willing to talk to you (as a sales person). Base pay is fine. Because Oracle is so big and has so much money, you will almost always have the upper-hand in a negotiation. People are super smart and are utmost professionals. The amount of work required to be successful is minimal. Work smart not hard type of mentality. I could have gotten away with working 10 hours a week and no one would have known and the result wouldn't have been any different.
    Cons: Selling cloud infrastructure is BORING! It is also really hard to compete with AWS and Azure. While the product is technically good, the world is such that AWS and Azure and GCP are preferred. You basically have one sales play worth selling and that can compete (because of price incentives), and that is lifting and shifting their Oracle ERP to OCI. This is a huge decision for an organization and places a lot of risk on IT people and their job security. While it makes sense to do, it will easily take over a year to make the decision to, and it will take up to multiple-years for the project to complete. You only get paid once the customer begins consuming cloud services (aside from a small kicker for selling prepaid credits) thus, don't expect to make money anytime soon after joining.

    More sales plays aside from L&S Ebs. Better comp. plan. In person new hire training, especially for product.
