It can be a tough environment, but to the pros outweighed the cons for me. Nothing else to add other than the need to fight for your compensation on a regular basis as the comp team made quite a few mistakes in my experience

Great company to work for

Commercial Manager (Former Employee) - Reading, Berkshire - 10 August 2020

Worked at Oracle for just under 6 years and they were the best years of my career! A company constantly improving its processes. A company where the word diversity is not just a corporate buzz word. Learnt many things and worked with the best in the industry.

Pros

Everyone wants to help, no hot potato culture

Go in with eyes open

Architect (Former Employee) - Reading, Berkshire - 16 June 2020

The company treats employees very, very well and it's possible to settle down, do what your boss says and have a good life. If you prefer to engage with a team, understand customer requirements and generally be part of anything remotely Agile, then look elsewhere. Or at least be very, very careful to find out what your manager's style is before accepting an offer.

Pros

Pay, work-life balance, canteens, training

Cons

X style management, shifting priorities

Productive and excellent workplace

Director, Cloud Customer Success UK & Israel (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 8 June 2020

I worked for Oracle over 7 years and was able to establish and grow an excellent career. I worked in 2 individual roles and then moved to managing teams leaving the business as a director. You make your own career and the opportunities are there.

Don't expect a pay rise

Solutions Consultant (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 29 April 2020

Bargain hard at the start. you won't get another pay rise unless you get a promotion. Managers are just administrators - dont expect support from them unless it suits them to do so.

Boring and lack of growth potential

Project Director, Professional Services (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 26 January 2020

The workplace culture is fairly relaxed and flexible. Work from home supported. Ample opportunity to learn. Diverse set of clients and technologies. Poor in terms of opportunity to grow.

Software Giant - Generally good

Core Technology Sales (Former Employee) - Reading, Berkshire - 2 December 2019

Lots of support, good technical knowledge and training. Lots of opportunities for growth, but one has to seek them out, all via self serve (even your long service awards) Big brand, however there is some animosity with the customer base in some instances. Very process orientated. Approval process can be a test of character. Overall a good place to be,

Great, Fun, driven place to work

IT Consultant (Contract) (Current Employee) - London - 27 October 2019

Fantastic place to work. All clients were brilliant, kind and knowledgeable about the product which ensured training and service were received quickly and with the upmost professionalism. Constant support was available for all jobs and anything was brought to solution quickly and efficiently. It is a great place to work and strive to improve. The only issue is being away from home constantly 5 days a week.
