Worked there for 4 years. Very segmented company and each BU is treated like it’s own business. I really liked my BU however no yearly raises and bonuses were all over the place (sometimes really high, sometimes non at all). Benefits were amazing, healthcare, unlimited vacations, cell phone was 100% paid for, generous reimbursement policies, bonuses were twice a year.

I’m very happy in my practice. Vacations are never a problem, and our bonus pools have been very healthy. 40 hour work weeks max (for me) and easy travel schedule. Great co-workers too. Sorry to hear others have had bad experiences :(

“Unlimited vacation” does not exist at Oracle @C1....

P1 - depends on your group. I was in one of the GBUs and had no issues with taking vacations when I needed to. Sounds like your experience sucked.

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?
