Run away - currently in that role. The (9 month old) team I'm in is falling apart as everyone is bailing for literally any other company. There are two problems - 1) Most of Oracle's products are so badly made and the documentation so sucky that the job is near impossible - you can't demonstrate to customers what you can't get running yourself and 2) All of the managers at the higher levels are sales people - we had to fight to get decent laptops because they didn't know that programming required it (not joking). And you hardly ever get to do actual programming. Most of the people in my division feel they were tricked into taking the job.
Woah that seems extremely bad. I knew there definitely wouldn't be as much programming/development as they say there is, but I didn't know the situation is this bad. Thanks for the info!
All of the reviews I have gotten till now have been bad, especially about this role..the general sense from what I could gather is that its a rotten old technology company.
Seriously, this isn't a joke. It's that bad.
