Oracle reviews

My boss in the Burlington office would scream and spit in my face so much that'd he get red and sweaty (and he was very intimidating). It was scary. After the first time he said HR wouldnt do anything and that I was stuck with him for at least 2yrs, so I may as well buckle up. I hate him so much that I allowed him to degrade me worse than a schoolyard bully. He'd say things like, I hate you, you're the worst, I can't stand you... I should have gotten him fired but I was afraid. When I left the org, I told HR and she didn't care. That HR is their to protect the company and its lifers, not you. My advice is to get a job there, don't be #1 or you'll get noticed, just keep low for 2-3yrs then quit for a better money & culture.

With an employee base of nearly 200,000 people across the world, there is little grip on the different fiefdoms that promote and protect themselves, but don't contribute or collaborate a lot beyond that. Reorgs created massive suborganizations that placed around a thousand employees under a single SVP, and hundreds under new, inexperienced VPs.
