Oracle Work Values

Daily Duties at Oracle:

My history with Oracle includes 3 roles over a 9 year period, including 2.5 years at Retek which was acquired by Oracle in July 2005 to create its retail industry application suite. I was the Global VP of Consulting at Retek, then served as a VP of Oracle Retail Consulting for 1 year before moving into Product Strategy where I was a VP for 6 years. In Product Strategy I was responsible for leading the Product Management team of 12 resources distributed across the US and UK, and developing the integrated roadmap across all 44 applications. The Oracle Retail Industry solutions are composed of applications from 5 different acquired companies that were integrated to operate as a product suite. As VP of Oracle Retail Consulting/ VP of Global Consulting (Retek) I was responsible for all consulting operations globally, and had accountability for sales, delivery and customer satisfaction of all projects, delivering annual revenues of $80M.

What they like about Oracle:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
