I had offers from lots of places but Oracle is the soul company with an ability to do on-prem cloud way more than any other company. On-prem cloud is the future of tech once the external cloud is no more and no other company can match Oracle's on-prem product portfolio.

OP is the scarecrow happily singing “if i only had a brain ...”
I am proud to work here...if you are willing, you can learn as much as you can. It is not a company that pushes you to do good, it is you who have to push yourself and gain something out of here. Regardless, it is worth it - yes our asses are getting whooped by the rest in terms of cloud - but my long term view of the company is much more +ve than the short term one.
Y i work @Oracle? Oracle pays a lot money for doing nothing. Thank you Uncle Larry.
OP:
LOL, what you write shows than you have no clue what you are talking about.
None of our customers want oracle cloud at customer (what you stupidly call on prem cloud).
Reason is they don't want oracle people take control of the DOM0 in their private network, especially if people at oracle are indians.
In addition, why are you posting this on a layoff board ?
Oh wait, you are so incompetent, you are on the way to be laid off. Right ?
You earned your OCI badge: oracle cloud id--t .
Aside from the just technologies, some companies just get branded as places not to recruit from. Sometimes it's also a matter toxic environments and mid to senior level employees who may not be very adaptable to other environments.
Let me add to this thread about how 'unpopular' Oracle is on a resume. I was laid off from Oracle, went to Workday, and now have WD certifications on my Linked-In profile as well as my experience with Oracle. I must get at least one recruiter a day contacting me for Workday work (though I am not interested in leaving them). Not one recruiter is interested in my Oracle background - not one. Don't take my word for it... contact a recruiter and ask them what skills are hot right now.
Troll.
Move on folks. Nothing to see here.
LOL !
OP is a mega on prem-cloud id--t !!!
Like a c---roach! :)
so after Armageddon, O will be the only ones left standing ;) too funny.
So much true, Oracle is now a liability on resume 2.
I don't recall ever meeting someone who worked at Oracle that was actually proud that they worked for Oracle. I say this in all seriousness, not as a jab against Oracle employees in general.
There is nothing wrong with being proud to work for Oracle, however I want to caution you on something you as a person still working at Oracle are completely unaware of.
Having Oracle on your resume is not a good thing. Where it once was a blue ribbon on your resume to bolster your personal brand, Oracle, as a brand, is now 'soiled goods". No one views your time at Oracle as a net asset to their team. IT hiring managers arent interested in Oracle talent because they arent interested in Oracle. Well, they are interested, but they only want people who can help them rid their company of Oracle. right down to and including Java.
Having Oracle on your resume today is like saying you have spent the last 10 years working on MS/370 assembler systems. Once upon a time, very impressive but today, old news, out of date and way too expensive to support.
No one - anywhere, is hiring people with Oracle Cloud experience to bolster their own IT organizations. No one - anywhere is building the new internet app using Oracle software. That impacts your market value in a very deep personal way. You can thank MH and LE for that little gift for all your hard work.
However - the number of companies hiring people with AWS, Google or Azure experience is legion. These companies all offer low cost ways to accomplish certification and (unlike oracle) you can very easily job on and at almost no cost, use these clouds to bolster your offerings by getting certified.
If you are still at Oracle, start working on an exit plan. If you are not at Oracle, write your resume in such a way that the job you did stands out more than where you did it, and just as fast as possible, establish some track record or bona fides on a platform other than Oracle. You'll be glad you did.
I was once proud to be at Oracle however I am not sad or angry that I am no longer there. I am very angry at myself for staying longer than I should have. The best thing that has happened to me career wise and life wise, is leaving Oracle behind and Im glad I did.
WTF?
Let’s take this a step further OP.
First, get back on your meds.
Second, the oracle software that is “public cloud” today can’t run at customer “on peen cloud environments” because the software isn’t ready for that; they can barely keep it runing in the oracle public clouS which are all separate entities. Just ask about fail over cloud procedures...they don’t exist.
Third, if you don’t understand this point about cloud software running as a multi tennant environment vs single tenant cloud architecture environment then stay out of this conversation. Oracle dev teams barely have multi-tenant retrofits to all their old technologies.. (Siebel’s adaptation to multi tenant callled “ Sales Cloud “ comes to mind as disaster exhibit A).
Everyone else don’t be fooled by this OP, they are mental.
This OP post is b---s---.
OP, have you been involve in a real C@C installation? It's complete chaos. You have to rely on the customer for access to their Data Center, and if the network goes down...Cloud is tossed.
You are a moron. It's spelled sole not soul. What a tool. Best and brightest. You want to predict the end of a computing paradigm based upon an approach that all of the leading CIO's have just recently told analysts via a broad and comprehensive survey that they don't believe in and are no longer considering a viable investment. Oracle is a perfect match for you. You are "sole mates".
Haven't we killed further development in our best on-prem products (SPARC) and are now just relying on X86-based platforms?
Isn't Solaris development pretty much dead?
Solaris and SPARC were what customers wanted the most. The combination of these two was bullet-proof.
Pivot to Cloud. OOPS! No!
Pivot to on-prem Cloud. Nope. We got rid of the hardware people in the last pivot.
So now we are predicting the demise of cloud computing? I'm sure Amazon, Microsoft and Google are shaking in their boots! Isn't on-prem cloud a bit of an oxymoron?
