Overall rating: 1/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Obsessed with micro-managing, zero transparency, no corporate values
Pros: Nice view onto the lagoon at HQ
Cons: Can only speak for my own department, things might be different elsewhere. I have never experienced a worse senior leader (SVP). Obsessed with micro-managing and lack of trust and confidence into people reporting into her. Basically everyone left because of this person, but there's a complete lack of self-awareness, and she's managing well upwards. Can't get out fast enough, even if it means leaving a pile of unvested RSUs on the table.

Beyond this, Oracle is surprisingly intransparent in terms of overall business performance, corporate values, etc. As employee, you're an anonymous worker bee expected to perform and deliver results. If you do, you *might* get an annual bonus, but that's not guaranteed, so don't count on it.

In terms of perks, average at best for Silicon Valley: No free lunch/fruit/etc.. At HQ, a total of 16 EV chargers, and they're pay-per-use.
