Is Oracle OCI rest and vest or pip and fire?

I know there were recent layoffs but it seems like they're continuing to hire a ton again. I'm a little nervous about moving across the country though just to get piped or layed off in a couple months. What is performance management like there and can I expect to be there at least a year if I take the offer?

Without TC and other considerations, it’s hard to guide you.

Depends on the team. There is no ongoing mass layoff, if that's what you're asking. But now and again you do hear of people who got fired for reasons outside their control. If the offer is good, take it, it's generally safe. You'd be moving for more than the job though. The West coast is a great place to live. Unless you're one of those NY is best place on earth types, you should try it regardless of where you work. If you're good enough to crack OCI without coming from a cloud company, you're good enough to crack other interviews if needed.

A little off topic, but it could help me guage if you guys answer. Is the interview process standard like FANG? Including LC and sys design? Or is the interview process team dependent. I am 12+ YOE with peanuts for TC at my current place. Just off my second maternity leave so very difficult to focus on the interview prep.

The coding questions are medium at best. I guess they no longer are looking for best talent which was the case couple of years ago. But I just interviewed with just one team so not sure about other teams.you should join If you are not on Visa.

Well, I am on H1B. Why do you suggest to join if not on Visa?
