Do we have one?

We have no such thing. But we have one with a similar name. In general, I don't recommend this company at all. Unless you can grab a fat TC, then you can survive here for a while, but eventually you'll either get bored, or get frustrated.

I don't know how Oracle is structured but here is the link https://labs.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=LABS:10::::::

ex-Sun, I wouldn't even go close to it (because of political reasons)

wlb is great IMO. Compensation is similar to elsewhere in the company AFAIK (except OCI). Projects vary, some are more interesting than others. Career growth is probably pretty hard, again similar to the rest of the company.

What is wlb? :)

work life balance

I’d be really wary of joining Oracle. It can be good, especially in OCI, otherwise it’s more often than not frustrating.

What area will be the research in ? I can look around

Thanks‌, it's the keybridge project.

Oracle lHEA77 Feb 10, 2019

keybridge is the highest profile project in the labs right now. could be a chance to make a big splash, but also if it fails the fallout could be severe
