I always thought of Oracle as the evil empire, but for real, what's it like working for them?

Found an attractive posting and I don't want to pass up something good over an opinion I formed as a high school linux geek.

No matter how good a particular team or product line is, the company is still owned and run by Larry Ellison, who has an extremely toxic personality and management style (have had him as a non-corporate client in a past life).

That toxicity from the top permeates an entire org, which is why there are decades of hatred for the company and it’s shady practices, and it will continue until long after Larry is gone.

Traditional oracle still is. Working there is really team dependent and pretty boring.
OCI on the other hand is new and is being treated like a startup. They are doing some pretty cool things as they build out their cloud solutions and it looks like a promising place to be if you want to learn and be involved early for development. They have also poached a lot of good talent and look promising. The only concern is of the oracle “stink” will mess up future opportunities

Hello everyone! I am a Judicial Law Clerk, which I have been for a little over two years now. However, I’m planning on moving into the AML/Compliance realm. I have a background in finance, having been a Finance Disbursing Officer in the Army for 6 years with one deployment in that role. Additionally, I am currently a JAG attorney and studying for my CAMS, hoping to take that exam in the next month or two. Any advice or referrals for anyone I can talk to learn more about the field? Thanks! :)

I’m inheriting a “team” of siloed strong individual developers who are on different work streams and are very jaded and struggling with motivation. Most are contractors.

Any suggestions for remote team-building that won’t just be shrugged off with cynicism, or worse, ignored?
