Is OCI a good company to move?

Aug 13, 2021 48 Comments

I am really demotivated of the slow promo pace and low pay at Microsoft. Some friend at OCI reached out to me for a move. Is OCI worth trying? How are the package, work, and career growth at OCI?

I am currently working in Core Azure. So I would like to continue working on cloud technologies in future.

    Stay away from OCI. It's like Amazon, except that Oracle only vests once a year, and they're known for terminating you right before the vest because they apparently don't have the budget to give everyone their RSUs!

      If it helps, ORCL stock also gives out a dividend of $0.32/share every quarter. Great for passive income :)
      Considering the stocks given to OCI folks, it is pretty great!

      Well, yeah, that's good for holding, but I doubt you're getting any dividends from unvested shares, because they're not legally yours.

    Not worth it. Unless money is your first priority at the moment and OCI offers you a package which you cannot refuse

    OCI is irredeemably flawed until they replace upper management with actual leaders. The engineering thrash and random mandates are brutal. You will be lucky if you are ever allowed to see a project to completion before getting reassigned to a higher priority but shittier task. As someone who has been at OCI for awhile at this point it is the worst day to day work I have had in my career.

    If you can exceed 80% of your peers you will get promotion and stock refreshers

    if you end up being the rest 80% you do not get either

    are you confident that you can be a top performer?
