I wish people would stop hating on Oracle
It's not perfect but let's be honest, many could do much worse than here. I've been here for more than three decades and I never felt the need to attempt to leave. The only major issue is layoffs, but if you know what you're doing and you keep your... — read more
Layoffs in Oracle Advertising/ ODC

Cerner data migration
Does oracle plan to move massive cerner data from AWS to OCI? If so, when the migration scheduled?
Do we have customers or hostages?
All my customers are complaining, all of them are working on getting off our products. This is so discouraging and makes me question everything I liked about Oracle. Oh, well...
Take your time thinking about giving us raises while more people leave for greener pastures.
Attrition is ki----g my unit and we are all burning out. forced weekend and holiday shifts eliminates work life balance. You want extra money? work weekend shifts. company pulling in tons of money, cloud services going great and no... — read more
Highly Recommend Expanding Your Horizons
I’m very happy to announce I’m no longer an Oracle employee. After five years of hard work and moving through a handful of teams with terrible management at each one, I landed a team where I was moved up to leadership and after five years of hard... — read more
A few shake ups today …
I have heard that there were a few changes within the sales consultants. Anyone impacted, or heard any further details
Is OCI Better than the rest of Oracle?
I am considering an offer but not sure. I am looking at the posts on Glassdoor and it looks like OCI is better than the rest of Oracle. Am I wrong?

Oracle BRM
safe?
How many were affected?
Does anyone have any insight on how many employees were affected?
Layoffs Today
What divisions had layoffs today?
Today's global strategy call was a snoozefest.
Seems like Big O's strategy moving forward is to not work on anything that anyone older than 30 is doing. Guess it's time to move along. And what the h*ll was that clown CM wearing? He looked like Eminem from 1999.
Oracle sucks
Oracle treats its employees like complete dirt. Not doing anything this year and will focus on finding a new employer. I will travel and enjoy the summer while doing the absolute minimum. Anyone else milking it for the summer?
Cloud observation

Many make surprising progress after leaving here
I know a few people who were undervalued and almost invisible here but they have done great things in other companies. In a short time they became star employees in much better companies. So this company is a hotbed of talent for others to pick... — read more
The Lord of Lanai
Bloomberg businessweek’s feature on how LE is changing the island he bought, and $crewing over residents and employees. The Tom Cruise story is pretty amusing too. What tools these ultra rich freaks are.
With Q4 earnings, expect more management hubris
I can see all the high-fives now in the top leadership and management meetings. There is nothing broken to fix, is there?
It's nothing new
The fact that Oracle is no longer a company which tries to keep talented and good employees is nothing new. This has been happening for years now. Does anyone remember roughly when this became a place where the most talented are not as desirable... — read more

Skills you gained while working at Oracle
Honestly, I was hoping to be able to upgrade my skills much more during this time that I have been here. Now I'm leaving a little disappointed. Some, however, say they have learned a lot here and that Oracle has served them as an excellent... — read more

Tricks used by managers to sabotage competent people
Fortunately, I didn’t have the experience of a manager sabotaging my work, but I’ve heard from a few people that they did just that to them. Supposedly, their competence was a trigger point for managers to sabotage them in some way. Has anyone here... — read more
Sure is Quiet …
On here, and at Oracle? Can I ask, how many times a week do you visit this site, with any comment? For me 2-3 times a week. I used to come daily, but there is not much happening by way of layoffs.
Well so much for that June 1st build-up
I don't know of anyone who was laid off. Does anyone else? Something about "internal projects" being cancelled, etc., etc. Anyone? Anything happen that you know of?

Food prices have risen by 11% over the past year. Gas prices have gone up from $2 to $5+. Medical bills are rising between 3-10%. Mortgage rate has gone up from The salary raised even if it meets 10%, its going to be useless. Oracle has... — read more
