Pack your bags folks. This place is headed for the sewer. Zero cloud growth, unhappy customers, and employees leaving.

The plan of the 3 stooges is just to drain as much cash as possible out of current customers, software and then go out of business. A drawn out process for sure give. Oracle’s size, but oracle is now just a cash cow, various groups getting laid off to ensure enough profit and cash is generated without causing a share price crash which would hurt LE badly given how much he had borrowed against his oracle stock. No future, just a slow, painful death for oracle. No need for anybody to stick around for this, there are many, many better places to work. Get going
Oracle tech will never improve with the existing dev management stack. Unbelievable incompetence. Dishonest, corrupt management doing their best to do nothing but stay employed.
Once the sales force is gone, they will decimate the developers by replacing them with incompetent newbies in India. Things will go from bad to very, very bad.
Then, maybe, they'll look where the problem actually is, the dev management.
@UQE16oF-dmq I see that the Oracle troll cloud service beta is hard at work.
OP : very true unfortunately. My manager informed of big layoffs in my cloud architect team in the next Q, and to start looking for another position. Last FY we pushed very hard on every customer to have them adopt OCI, with a ridicolous win rate of less than 5% (all around EMEA). This is the real win rate, i.e. the customers that have started using OCI, or have started at least the migration off on-prem, not the cloud contracts we -- cough cough -- sold -- cough cough -- , which have been quite a good number.
My manager unofficially told me that the plan is to have hubs sell OCI (good luck with that, really curious to see the win rate in this FY), while SaaS and some part of PaaS will still use the current sales org, and to look for a position there.
I'm actively interviewing and will soon get another job, but it's really a pity how things are so badly managed in a big and once important corp like Oracle..... blaming sales reps and cloud architects for not being able to sell something that is lightyears behind AWS, Azure, Google and even Alibaba, and forcing customers to buy via illegal practice instead of improving the technology.
