Oracle OCI over Stanley anyday. There is a difference between working for a top notch growth oriented cloud based tech company vs a bank.

SAP anoymous Apr 10, 2021

Mogan is best than dying Oracle Oracle is losing big client left and right . Morgan is stable company . Oracle has did big bet on oci which might not be futile and they may have to fire in next year or so

Lol try to do some research and make comments.

@SAP you don't have to show your ignorance on a public platform. Don't forget someone may take your ill informed and biased advice and screw his/her career.

Morgan Stanley nfnY63 Apr 10, 2021

Which location and which area/ team ?

HSBC zeushade OP Apr 10, 2021

It's for bangalore location. Sorry @nfnY63 I cannot reveal the team name here as I haven't join the firm.

Morgan Stanley nfnY63 Apr 10, 2021

Okay. The one thing I'll say is I found it quite difficult to get any recruiter calls when leaving Morgan Stanley. You'll hear a lot of jargon and mumbo-jumbo on tech being used etc - but is highly dependent on which team you are on. Fwiw - I joined as an associate and left as an ED. Choose wisely. All the best

Read about the toxic culture lawsuit in OCI.

SAP anoymous Apr 10, 2021

What is that ,sorry I missed it ? Lawsuit Can you pls.elaborate

I too got the offer from Morgan Stanley, and Oracle as well. I joined Oracle, and do not regret the decision. OCI is all set to make huge impact in Cloud Business. There are lot of bets on OCI from oracle. They have been hiring crazily offering high compensation to ppl from competitors. The quality of team mates, work, and compensation is going to better in OCI than rest of Oracle. Besides, You will be all set for your next switch with OCI work ex. Go with the Oracle, you will not regret it.

HSBC zeushade OP Apr 10, 2021

Thanks @sDtC36 for the suggestion. I am looking forward to Oracle.

Oracle large$$ Apr 10, 2021

It's true that OCI is much better than legacy Oracle say DB, Fusion Apps, etc.

Oracle killtom Apr 10, 2021

It might be a worthy question to ask the hiring manager whether your work in your team is gonna be coding or pure deployment and ops. I know my team in OCI is outsourcing stupid deployments (os upgrades and such, on the hosts from India) Money wise its a no brainer of course

HSBC zeushade OP Apr 10, 2021

Yes @killtom , I asked my manager and he told me that my work will be based on java completely.

Oracle killtom Apr 10, 2021

great! go for it then

Oracle oweR57 Apr 10, 2021

Please dont join oci , focals are infrequent and growth oportunity depends on your relation with hiring manager . I have seen engineers earning same package for years. Choice is yours , however i must admit wlb is amazing in oci Choice is yours ☺️

Morgan Stanley viky Apr 10, 2021

OCI has offices at which locations in India? While at MS, you may have to adjust to a bit of late hours if work is driven from US. By my experience here work load is more here as client/manager is aggressive with timelines. Also you own end to end right from dev, deployment,qa and prod monitoring and support. So might get to learn a lot but again at a cost. +1 for leaves. You can get 3 months of paid sick leaves + no of public holidays is usually more compared to other MNCs + 23 vacations. Usually MS offer doesn't not state the PF component. So ur actual CTC may be a more

SAP anoymous Apr 10, 2021

Is this leaves you are talking about is for Morgan ?

Morgan Stanley viky Apr 10, 2021

Yes, India locations
