Oracle reviews

- lot of operational work, from region build to application deployment - constant Oncall load even if you are not Oncall as development works in this cycle: build -> deploy -> oncall - compensation is heavily tied to the RSUs, with no base salary growth. If stock goes down, no additional compensation to fill the gap

After years of delivering high quality service directly recognized by customers, the U.S. manager still insists on placing you at the bottom of the organization chart and refuses to acknowledge your achievements. They continue to promote U.S. engineers simply because the development team is based in the U.S., giving those engineers easier access to the developers who can help troubleshoot or correct issues on customer systems. In reality, more than 80% of the engineers are not fully qualified to work in this field, 15% do not share their knowledge, and only about 5% makes an effort to build relationships with engineers in other GEOs to share expertise and provide training to support the products. Without a strong self training mentality, it is almost impossible to survive in this environment. The stress does not come only from dealing with complex, unfamiliar customer issues in a highly dynamic field; it also comes from constantly having to fight for recognition, both against management and against other GEO technicians.
