Experience level: Confirmed

Broken Compensation Structure
Pros: Downtime at beginning of quarter months
Cons: Compensation is broken. Company regularly increases base salary for external applicants but freezes salary for internal employees. Internal transfers are compensated based on their initial salary instead of the new role’s salary range. It’s not uncommon for internal employees to leave Oracle for 12 months and then return as an “external applicant” just to level the playing field. All the top performers leave once they find this out and the bottom of the barrel performers remain. 

Extreme overtime and working conditions (ex: working until 12, 1, 2am and then returning to regular working hours the next morning)
