Oracle is not a women-friendly company if I have to talk about the team that I worked with and also from the experience of another woman I met. She worked in another department where the manager was responsible for dissolving the team. The ones that I worked with were stalkers and were puppets in the hands of my first company’s managers that were cybercriminals.

I worked here as a contractor, but for over 6 years, which felt ridiculous because I couldn’t take on work at other companies. This is now illegal of course. However they find ways around it, especially in marketing which is seen as more ‘soft’ and ‘replaceable’ – but then that is when a lot of women work. They also, provide a lot of fixed-term contracts for say 11 months.

I had the absolute best time in this company. I travelled the world, I met a lot of people and learnt lot, but then, that was because I did it, not because I was supported by the company.
I got frustrated because I KNEW I wasn’t getting paid as well as I could be for the role I had, or the benefits or security because I was a contractor. So I ended up leaving. I couldn’t rise any further without my boss leaving, and they never would.

The people are fantastic. The budgets are better than average. The red tape is huge but you learn to navigate it.

I hope Safra Katz will definitely change things as CEO, but with Larry Ellison supporting Trump, who knows.

Very few women in technical decision making roles, practically non-existent. I was promoted to Sr. Director after helping define and build two successful products – that was the good part. Then through a series of blind re-orgs I found myself essentially demoted and working for an org with misogynistic male leadership. Strong women will not flourish in this culture. If you happen to find a pocket that supports diversity, then you may do OK for a while but in general Oracle is a bad culture for strong technical women. In summary, the culture has not changed from previous commenters and this is 2019.

I always blamed middle management for retention problems and poor work environment. Recently I found out upper management is well aware of the problems. Now there is no excuse. We are literally training all or our competitors workforces.

And the pay structuring is very poor. Everyone makes double when they leave.

I wish them luck but would not recommend this company. I ma getting out after 4 years of broken promises by 6 managers.

I was originally hired at PeopleSoft in 1996 before it was purchased by Oracle a number of years later. As the Oracle management style began to infiltrate the PeopleSoft culture, I found it to be very oppressive and decided to leave.

The culture at that time was mean-spirited and full of petty fault-finding as opposed to the PeopleSoft culture of team-building and individual respect. People promoted to managers were in their positions for a sense of power rather than producing good products. Managers had no people skills and were measured on enforcing unnecessary processes rather than on quality results.

I hope that today’s Oracle culture has improved over time, and that it is a workforce with more women in technical positions with decision-making power.
