United States Marine Corps Employee Reviews for Senior Oracle DBA

What do you like about working at United States Marine Corps?

"The Marines. When they deploy, I keep them in my prayers. Professionally, they have allowed me to develop weaker areas of my abilities. While I am OK with BASH shell scripting, I am now learning PERL. I have had the exposure to Oracle Application Server and to Oracle Portal and HTML DB. With the Marines, I have the opportunity to delve deeper into other technical areas."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't lie. The other three DBA's BSed their way. By being honest, I have gained management respect to a level that I have never known. There is a responsibility for DBA to be able to explain what we do so that management can support our efforts. In addition, they like being involved knowing that their permission or concurrence is requested before action."

What don't you like about working at United States Marine Corps?

"The development manager really likes sharepoint which used SQL Server."
