                  Pros

                  My experience at Oracle has been nothing short of transformative. From day one, I was embraced by a diverse and inclusive community that values unique perspectives. Oracle's commitment to innovation has allowed me to work on cutting-edge projects and stay ahead of industry trends. The supportive work culture encourages collaboration and empowers individuals to make a real impact. With a focus on employee growth and development, Oracle provides ample learning opportunities and mentorship programs. I am grateful for the valuable experiences and growth I've achieved during my time at Oracle.

                  Cons

                  While my overall experience at Oracle has been positive, I must address a recent development that has impacted my experience. Oracle's rapid growth in Europe, particularly the hiring of numerous employees from across the continent to work in Malaga, initially seemed promising. However, the recent decision to restructure the Malaga office and require employees to return to their respective countries has presented a significant challenge. As someone who relocated to Malaga from Belgium to work at Oracle, this restructuring announcement has left me feeling uncertain about my future with the company. Returning to Belgium may not align with my personal goals and aspirations, and it is a disheartening prospect after investing time and energy into building a life in Malaga. Despite this challenge, I am grateful for the experience and growth I have achieved at Oracle, and I will carry the valuable lessons learned into future endeavors.

                      Underwriter

                      Had an interview today and at the end recruiter asked if I was interviewing with another company I was honest and said yes I currently have an offer already with another company. Should I have said that? Worried it may hurt my chances with the interview process going forward.
