Consider this my rant or warning but I feel people should know the truth because you won't know this during your interviews here. Joining OCI can be a bad decision by many different reasons: You have to work on a project 14x7 (14 hours, all 7 days of the week). You don't have an option. Until you fix it or finish it, you stay in a war room (zoom call). I have seen many people getting anxiety issues because of this and left OCI in the end. We have terrible internal tools. I haven't ever heard a single good thing about them, EVER. Everyone is complaining but no one can do anything because people are keep leaving and management is afraid to talk to their upper management about issues. Teams have ton of tickets to resolve but their hands are also tied. Boring work. I was really excited for the first year when I joined. There was lot of interesting work and lot of smart people around me. Now, we do ops work most of the time. It's either deployment or fixing some boring security bug. If you want to do any type of dev/feature work, you need your VP's permission! Lot of good people who are still here are planning to leave and it's very scary. I know people will ask me why don't I just leave. I am stuck here because of my immigration situation. TC: 250k, IC3. #oci #oracle #wlb #software #swe
How about OCI messaging org? All you said can apply as well?
14x7 doesn't sound real
All that for a 2% cloud market share.
Which team are you in? The org Im in is not working 7 days a week. Most of us are working 9 to 5 and have lots of no zoom days. We are also for the most part still working on features and getting paid well.
Which org are you in? Do you know how things going in messaging org?
Which org are you in?
14/7 is crazy, I’m going to have an interview soon with dev tools team, any idea good or bad wlb?
Wait what. How come you work at North shore SD and interview with OCI? 😂 R u an AP CS teacher?
I'm curious, what do you do after work? Or does the work take all of the time from your day and you can no longer enjoy your life?
Is the same situation with India teams?
Not very sure but I doubt it. Because 14x7 is on US time so I think India team doesn't get involved that much. But some of them have lot of ops work I've heard
How about market place organization?
What about file storage team in OCI? Is it bad aswell?
H1b slavery is not new. Entire product lines at Oracle/Msft et al exist solely on visa folks who are too scared to leave.
I really don't understand this rhetoric of "slavery due to H1b" and "Can't move companies due to immigration" thing. I know a lot of people on H1b who have changed jobs. Am I missing something here?
Changing jobs on H-1B is easy unless you are locked in for 2-3 years to get I-140, otherwise it’s not a big hassle.
