Reading, England

Current Employee – been working at Oracle

ProsFlat hierarchy, highly skilled people which means a lot to learn from. Oracle has a huge reservoir of resources and knowledge.

Consmiserable salaries, continuous pressure for performance, but no appreciation of good work done. Very little chances of growth. The appraisal is a slow and painful process. I am not sure if the feedback given is looked at by the senior management.

Advice to Senior ManagementEnergy is missing from senior folks. I think we need to find brighter people who are willing to listen to new ideas and flexible in ideas. Younger smart people should be considered for senior roles.
