Given that my comment blew up and has high visibility I feel I probably shouldn't share anything specific. It was a pretty much throw away comment that I didn't expect to get as much attention as it did. The best I can say is that after working for the company I think that the general news.ycombinator.com beliefs on the performance of Oracle are entirely justified. I thought going in that it may have been overblown, like you say some sort of "startups are cool, big corps are evil boo" kind of thing, but it is not. I love the people I work with in my section! Just, not the overall firm.

I wonder if there will be a management witch hunt against the Solutions Engineering team on Monday provoked by your post.

Well the joke would be on management. I am sure that ALL of the solutions engineers think that the product is garbage, given that they are the ones who have to deal with the problems.

On the other hand, without the problems, the solution engineers might not exist...

...which is, in one sentence, the reason why Oracle consultants exist.

If you are still looking about, our group at Microsoft - CSE (commercial software engineering) is hiring. Some evangelism, lots of open source, the group I am part of works heavily with both the open source side of things as well as the product team around Kubernetes.
