Actual, truthful reviews. Too many of them paint a picture that's anything but true, so I'm guessing HR is hard at work to fix the company's image. Take a few minutes and post a real review over there, so people who're considering Oracle know what... — read more

Anyone NOT take the severance/sign the agreement?
Curious if anyone during any round of these layoffs did not take the severance and sign the separation agreement and if so, what happened and where do you stand now?
Focal
Thoughts on yearly self review. Is it pointless? We have been told no raises again, so is it to continue to weed employees out. Not new to Oracle 13 years some great, some awful. Just trying to pay my bills while looking for something new.. Peace... — read more
When OpenAI fails/declares bankruptcy, Oracle goes with it?

Brainstorm for Yourself, Not for Oracle Clowns
From my experience at Oracle... Stop sharing your big ideas or new project concepts with management. Most of them honestly don’t understand the real technical depth behind the work. They rarely join brainstorming sessions or real idea discussions... — read more

WebLogic 26? Fusion Middleware 27? Who is left to build any of this? Will it all just be AI slop? https://blogs.oracle.com/fusionmiddlewaresupport/oracle-fusion-middleware-statement-of-direction-is-now-available
The way I see things...
I worked as a developer in the Fusion Middleware area, first on the on-premise tools and later on Oracle Cloud. My experience at Oracle was extremely negative. I believe a large part of that was because I am female, honest, and a highly competent... — read more
COBRA - Meta 18m vs Oracle 1m
Layoff email from Meta says: Payment of COBRA (health insurance) premiums for you and your family (if they are dependents on your current plan) for 18 months. From my friend I heard, Oracle is just paying 1m .
Stock based layoffs

You can't have it both ways
All the wellness messaging in the world doesn't mean much when people are stressed about possible layoffs. Nothing says healthy workplace culture quite like anxiety, rumors, and employees wondering if they are on the next list.
Meta severance far better than what Oracle provided
16 weeks base salary 2 weeks per year worked 18 months of healthcare I haven't heard anything on how they are handling RSUs. I know Cisco accelerated RSU vesting through August. Oracle seems to be the new low in employee severance.
What's happening in October?

Suspect we'll see another round at the end of FY
I believe sales will be hit again after the end of the fiscal year (5/31). Some in sales were left alone during the last round to see if they could close key deals, and they might be let go after the year ends. Also, as we move into FY27 I expect a... — read more

I'm so tired of always thinking about layoffs
I'm this close to quitting because it'd be a better option mentally to search for a job in this market than have to worry about having one 24/7.
US layoffs may 31
Any truth to this? Could be legit given end of fiscal and upcoming earnings.

No favorites here
Some companies have favorite departments or favorite people. Not Oracle. They seem to genuinely dislike everyone equally. From the newest hire to the twenty year veteran. Nobody is safe from the bad treatment.
