“Huge management pressure and poor compensation. You will feel undervalued here”
Pros: racle is a big name and your CV will look really nicer once you join; It's the second biggest software company after Microsoft and it looks really nice.
Cons: The pressure from the management is totally unbearable, the style of managing like robots makes it a totally non-advised company to work for... In addition the salaries they are offering are under the industry standards and they don't increase the salaries on a yearly basis, so you will lose money if you stay. Take into account that the salaries depend of the year you are hired and are not related to your skills. Some senior people are getting half the salary of a Demand Generator because the senior person was hired 2 years before. Another important point here is that promoting is something impossible, you need to be a big brown nose and play politics games if you want to get a good position... They don't value the skills, only the gossip. They ask for filling non-sense KPIs and if you fill it they don't promote or congratulate you, but if you don't deliver these soft KPIs you will have a real problem.
