Oracle has a bunch of wanna-be know it alls working there. No real depth of product knowledge. If you are in sales, don’t expect to make your OTE. Expect to make your 50-65k salary and live off that. I feel really bad for anyone who works there. It’s... — read more

Oracle owns cloud computing
Oracle has been doing cloud in some form or another for more than 20 years. Others try to sing to the cloud tune but Oracle defined what cloud means and continue to drive the definition. This message perhaps isn't captured by those who don't... — read more

Join a real tech company.
This place is garbage. Lots of micro management on daily activities. Everyone is just trying to impress the person above them. No real strategy in place. Join a real tech company with real technology, not artificial buzz words that have no merit.

TK leaving means Oracle Cloud will fail
TK is the back bone of Oracle Cloud to the extent that it would have flopped before now had he not been involved. But with the changing Oracle might fall out of the top 5 cloud vendors which would be a disaster. Oracle should make TK the next CEO.
What Indefinite Leave is Code For
