Good company, but pay raises are tough to get - Data Center Technician bei Oracle: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.

Good name to have on resume

This company is just so cheap and does not value their workers. I know that's the case for most companies, but this one is just actually worse. I was part of the layoffs March 31st and I was genuinely surprised by how poorly they treated their employees. The severance package might've been the worst out of all tech companies, considering how easily they could've beefed these up a couple weeks and made some people's lives a lot easier. Also raises and promotions are pretty hard to get here. I was making same salary and same level 2 years 10 months into working here. Benefits are not good, 401k match is awful. 6 in 3 match vesting every year for 4 years😂. Get in, learn some stuff, get the name on ur resume. And get out. My new job is better in every way, pay benefits etc. this is a stepping stone not a career
