Hi folks,
I recently got a verbal offer from OCI. I come from a firmware background ( C and assembly). New team uses java. I am guessing I need to learn and spend some time in understanding the stack and get familiar with it. I wanted to understand how flexible/supportive teams are in general? How is wlb? Any feedback on management? Etc.

Any help is appreciated?

Thanks

    Like every company, the answers depends on your team and HM. With 6 YOE, you know what works for you and what doesn’t. If you don’t really have to take the role immediately, these are all good candid questions to ask the HM in a follow-up call.

      When I joined OCI, my team and leadership were very supportive with the on-boarding process. I had not coded in Java for many years. It was not a problem as picking up a new coding language is not hard. It’s all syntactic sugar anyway. PRs required a few more iterations at first but after a while, I got the hang of what my teammates were looking for and it was a non-issue quickly.

      My manager was a director and was running a high-performing team where ICs mostly worked a 40-hour work week (excluding on-call weeks of course). He didn’t tolerate slackers or coasters but instead put systems, policies and culture in place to make sure that during work hours, all the ICs were as productive as they could be. He was very responsive in unblocking us ICs and nudging us to automate the hell out of everything that were repetitive tasks.

      But that’s the culture he set for the team and to my knowledge, hasn’t been replicated elsewhere in OCI. So, again, the answers to your question depends on your new team’s leadership.
