I am going to join Oracle OCI at Software Engg in IC5 role in TX as remote position. What kind of WFH support do they provide in terms of equipment? I need phone by my company and also I need Apple Studio monitor. 10 yoe, 400K TC #WFH #oraclecloud #oracle
When i left it was a few hundred dollars you could expense
They would reimburse a certain amount of your phone bill if you were on call. But ⌠you donât need a studio monitor lol
Other than Mac Laptop, what else do they give you? Do they atleast give you a desktop, event if it was a Linux/Windows desktop?
I never got a desktop. Some people did but most people didnât. It wasnât really needed and if they needed a Linux machine most folks stood an instance up
Run from OCI
What are your reasons? Are you currently working there?
They ainât giving you a penny more for the next 5 years apart from whatâs stated in your offer. Oh and youâll have no life apart from work!
So.. Amazon? Sweet, at least my switch to oci will feel like home.
I havenât been there for a while. But⌠some of the reasons people are telling you to run: Larger Oracle got more involved. Itâs not the cool, fast moving, low BS place it was earlier. Clay M is sort of a tyrant. Famously answered a valid question about burnout with âif we burn people out we will just hire moreâ When I was there it was very bad wlb and that became sort of the expectation. Stuff related to supporting the government business is a nightmare and poorly managed Among other things. I was glad to leave. I learned a lot and got to build some cool things but I hated it by year 3
This is all true
This is spot on
Stay away from OCI. Ic5 - you are dead with shitty work like balance
Mind referring for internship?
Assuming I accept the offer and once I get it, Happy to!
First of all think abt joining the oci đit hell
M1 + phone for on-call. Can expense everything else OCI is a nice place to work much better WLB than Amazon
Why are so many other saying to run from OCI? Can you share your experience a bit more to balance the viewpoints?
I'm guessing this is honestly similar to Amazon in that some teams are absolutely crushed and on call all the time with terrible attrition. It doesn't represent the whole, but it does represent some vocal folks and more people than it should.
First - congrats on the new role. Not nice today get a bunch of 'run' comments when you're prepping to move. Personally I've found Oracle not bad at all and excellent wlb. Permanent remote / work from home get a one of allowance of either $1500 or $2k to buy office equipment of your choice to expense. No one uses office phones, you will get a cell phone and use zoom for all calls.
$1500-2000 - I just can't remember exact amount.
Are you in OCI
