I’ve heard that Oracle is making a serious push to design better software and they’ve hired a ton of people. Anyone able to comment on the experience and if it’s worth joining? Good leadership?
Leadership is atrocious. They mean well but aren’t qualified. Some talented designers there but it’s a lot of Dribbble crap that will never go anywhere.

Not if you’re a fully grown adult, no. It’s just a masturbatory exercise for a guy who’s failed upward his entire career and for a faux feminist who depends on male approval talking to Larry Ellison about how he designs his hotels. A few good designers left already and while plenty of strong talents remain most of them are looking.

No
I like what I see for the most part. It’s a big change but it is what is needed. Can’t speak for all the new leads in the org but most look extremely talented and competent.
I was at Oracle as a designer for awhile. I got a lot out of it and really liked the people there; obviously I left, but, I don’t harbor ill will towards the company or the leadership there. There are tons of interesting challenges and much of the work underway is beautiful.

I’d avoid. If you want to work in that space, look into MongoDB.
Anything specific you’d avoid about Oracle? I do agree that MongoDB is much cooler. But Oracle isn’t just database they seem to have a lot of enterprise offerings.
