I recently received my written offer from OCI after a 3 month wait and I was excited about joining Oracle soon. However, I heard about their recent layoffs which is making me reconsider. I had another offer which I now kind of regret having turned down a couple of months ago and to be honest, I feel I have outgrown where I currently work and it just isn’t appealing anymore. Also, I’m on H1B, so wondering if it is worth the risk to join OCI at the moment. Any genuine advise would be appreciated. TC- 260k (Oracle) YOE- 7
Massive layoffs at oci this week
I heard. Any information on what’s to come?
@tevo there's another one coming in September, and newly joined is not immune to it. I know of a brown friend who was in the middle of wedding in India and got laid off. To make matter worse, he is on H1 Visa.
OP, what is your designation at OCI? Is it Principal MTS?
I will recommend to avoid OCI if possible and go to the other offer if it can still work out
I had turned down the other one after having accepted it. I think I burnt the bridge. Are you at OCI? Do you foresee further layoffs?
it’s normal layoffs. they are cutting fat. go for it
The fat cutting sounds awfully familiar. Initially, they make it sound like just the low performers are getting affected. Then, give a few months and 75% of your colleagues are gone.
Don't think it's only low performers.
+1 they are only trimming fat.
Oracle has an awful reputation and I’ve never heard anyone discuss OCI outside of Blind
I recently moved to Oracle, also in h1, I say you can join
Do you feel lucky?
Unfortunately, not at all at the moment
wow how did you join att as an immigrant?
Yes. The TC is offered by Oracle not At&t
Not exactly sure how to answer your “how” :-)
