Working at Oracle in Santa Monica, CA: 8 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Santa Monica, CA Area

"Overall, I had a positive work experience at Oracle. Good training, great coworkers, unbeatable location. Only things I would improve would be to have consistent communication about goals within the sales department."

"Good for newly grads interested in beginning their careers in tech/databases. Compensation could be more competitive. Good for individuals that aren't sensitive to re-orgs and monthly changes in the organization. Overall, nice to have on a resume."

"I've worked at Oracle for a year, as a business development consultant. I thought I'd enjoy working for a large corporation, but there are many things I've grown to dislike. In such a big organization, there is a lot of inefficiencies and the structure of the org is too complex. When you have an idea to improve some operations, it is very rare that the idea will make it up the chain of command. In addition, our metrics are constantly changing every quarter, which I believe leads to more inefficiency."

"Really great place to start your career straight out of college!"
