Can any one tell me what is the average pay increase, bonus and Rsus this year for oci engineers.

According to Business Insider: Oracle has revoked offers for some people in the U.K., blaiming a hiring freeze. Way to go to get good publicity and great general goodwill. You guys still think oracle is doing great?

A long time employee here. Maybe this will come as a shock to the youngsters, but believe it or not, this used to be a great company back in the day. Not in my wildest dreams I could have imagined that it could sink to this level. My point is, that... — read more 

Today in the cafeteria some group of people were discussing the possibility of massive layoffs in the month of September in the dynamic org that is most discussed in this site. Actually that's the only topic most of the people are talking about these... — read more 

A sub culture of self loathing sprung up, that only people from the outside or young blood could fix Oracle. The Seattle folks (and there are others) stepped into the vacuum and ran with it. As with anything in the tech industry, demographics are... — read more

Never heard in my entire life some one getting demoted at Ora. That too at Sr VP levels. Is it an indirect way of telling, "Bro, I don't like you and I don't want to throw money giving severance. Please do a favor for yourself?" I feel very sad for... — read more 

Soon it will be the earning call and we will get to know how much of the predictions here are true and how much of it is just random trashing.

I was laid off a few years ago and interestingly they now have asked if I would like to come back. I find that a bit ironic. If I was to go back am I just setting up to get laid off again?

With the latest announcement of the partnership, seems like this is a preparation for a merger to take down AWS?

Half the ECAs got screwed and became part of the Tech license team. For the cloud team, there doesn’t seem to be any logic.

By my count about 500 people were laid off last week, which brings the total since 6/1/2016 to 24,186. This looks like just a start, expect more layoffs. Best of luck all and keep looking!!!!
