Got a decent offer. But from last orcl earnings, it seems the group is not doing as well as expected. How is oracle planning to compete going forward ? Is oracle still optimistic they can make headway ? Am just worried that one fine day, they decide this is not worth it and shutter the group..
Read this [Blind] Check out this post! Hey Oracle Cloud what happened to Deepak Patil? (Seattle) https://us.teamblind.com/s/G3YdhuBm
How is this post relevant?
It’s do or die. So Oracle will sink money into it. Cash in.
Yeah. I don't know we're going to be a successful business. I do know they're paying engineers to try to build one. Another way to look at is is that the way an org gets to be profitable is when revenue exceeds expenses. But remember, you are likely the biggest expense.
The biggest red flag for me is that they hire mediocre and give them lots of money and an inflated title.
So you form openion about the random person being mediocre based on his number of reports..., you use that to make a generalized comment ... And you insult all oci employees...
I’m just saying what I saw. Don’t get worked up about that random person, I’ll even edit it out of my message if you feel insecure about it! But don’t you honestly feel the bar in oracle cloud is lower vs amazon, google or even Microsoft when you normalize over the comp offered?
I am just saying there are lot of smart people in Oracle and they are solving interesting problems. Yes, Oci provides competitive comp and attractive career growth.
Why did Deepak get fired?
That one fine day can be true for any product, division or company. You will be fine, you will find another job, just the way you’ve found a job in MS or Oracle. Go for it.
Well unless they do something really amazing there is no way they can beat the top players at this point. You also have to realize the top players are innovating and adding new stuff everyday too unlike the big corps in 90s who stopped innovating so that makes it hard to beat them and get a lead. Also they are hiring people with less experience and giving them higher position. This gives some really talented person a good chance to shine but for most they will not be able to do really good to make an impact. But while they are at it you can make good money and get a good title under your belt.
