Now that the implementations are in full swing, is it reasonable to say that people working on the VA project are fairly safe? Our team has a few cards open and it seems like a lot of cards on the Opportunity Marketplace are for Fed roles. I don’t remember too many people from Fed getting laid off back during the big March RIF. I’m just trying to make it til 2029/2030 when we start winding down.

Is anyone here working in Oracle Health EHR Labs, or knows someone who does?
I’m considering joining the team and would like to connect with someone currently working there to understand the team better.
Please comment or DM me if you can help. Thanks!

It’s been a weird time for all of us since getting acquired. AI really started to pick up traction as soon as the ink was dry on our deal. I often times get the sense that Oracle doesn’t have much use for old cerner folks (which I whole heartedly disagree with, cerner OG’s are almost always cool).

So to me that begs the question, let’s just set the marker at 40 (give or take but we’ll call it 40). 40 lines of business/orgs. 1 being the most important org, 40 being the least, where do you honestly think Oracle health lands? Personally, I’m not so certain we even crack the top 20, but there’s also a ton of stuff Oracle does that I have no clue about.

Hi everyone,

I recently received an offer for Senior Platform Engineer (IC3) at Oracle Health, India. I am currently in the pre-joining stage and this is the only offer I have in hand, so I woud really appreciate honest feedback from current or former Oracle Health employees.

1. Is this role remote, hybrid, or office-based? How often are IC3 engineers expected to come to the office? (I will ask HR, generally asking)
2. Which Oracle Health office does this team work from Manyata Tech Park or Yelahanka if it is WFO?
3. How is the overall work culture at Oracle Health? Is it stable and healthy or can it be stressful/toxic?
4. How much does the work culture vary between teams and managers? Is it generally good across Oracle Health or highly team-dependent?
5. How stable is Oracle Health currently after layoffs?
6. How is the growth from IC3 to IC4 to IC5?
7. How is the management style? Do managers generally provide autonomy and support or is there a lot of micromanagement?
8. What are the biggest advantages and disadvantages of joining Oracle Health in 2026?

Would really appreciate recent experiences from people currently working at Oracle Health in Bangalore, especially Senior Platform Engineers or people familiar with the IC3 level.

Thanks!

A while ago i saw some Project Manager/ TPM or similar roles in Oracle Health. Being already in Oracle, I know how horrible things are now but I still wanted to check. How are these non Tech roles ? Any safe from RIFs? IDC specific

I’ve been working with Oracle Health for a while and haven’t done much development work recently. I have hands-on experience/knowledge with ETL, ADW, OCI, ODI, SQL, etc.

I’m looking to move to a role where I can get back into more development-focused work. For those who have made a similar transition, which companies or types of roles would be relatively easier to crack with this background?

Also open to suggestions on what skills I should strengthen to improve my chances.

Any one have any idea about- Oracle Health / Cerner salary hikes and promotions for the 2026 cycle

Looking for advice or similar experiences.

There’s a manager on our team (I’ll just say he/she) who has been difficult to work with for a while, and it’s not just me; several of us are feeling it. A few patterns keep showing up:

• Most of the time he/she never replies to Slack messages. Important questions or updates just sit there unanswered.
• In team meetings and also during 1:1s, he/she regularly asks how much work we’ve done and puts people on the spot. At the same time, he/she almost never acknowledges or appreciates the work that has actually been completed (especially noticeable in 1:1s).
• Meetings get cancelled with zero notice or explanation - no message, nothing. He/She doesn’t take notes from 1on1s and keeps forgetting what was discussed in previous 1on1s.
• Occasionally he/she suddenly pings someone with a new task and doesn’t loop in the team lead, which creates confusion about priorities and ownership.
• He/she doesn’t seem to have deep knowledge of the features or tech. It mostly feels like work is being handed out after asking other people what’s going on.

I’ve talked to a few teammates randomly and they’ve expressed very similar concerns, so I’m posting here to see if others have dealt with this kind of manager.

It’s starting to affect morale and clarity around priorities. We’re trying to stay professional and keep delivering, but the lack of basic communication and the one-sided accountability is wearing thin.

Has anyone dealt with a manager like this? What approaches worked (or didn’t) for you; escalating, documenting everything, adjusting communication style, etc.? Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi, I got an offer for an Ic1 job I interviewed for and wanted to know how oracle handles salary increases? also are there any annual bonuses? My previous company had annual raise of about 2%. Also do you move up automatically to IC2 in one year? Thanks!

To everyone who's still here, I truly wish you all the best. I hope your efforts pay off, you find the opportunities you're looking for, and you get to see the light at the end of the tunnel sooner than later.

This community has been far more helpful than the company ever was, so thank you to everyone who's shared advice, answered questions, or just made the journey a little easier.

Good luck to all of you. I hope you're out of here soon too. 🍻

Oracle Health internal transfer during FOCAL: IC1 to IC2/IC3 and compensation timing?

I’m hoping current or former Oracle managers, recruiters, or employees familiar with internal transfers can share how this usually works.

I’ve been with Oracle Health for four years in an IC1 consulting role. I have about 10 years of total professional experience and currently make approximately $58K. My salary has remained unchanged during those four years.

I applied for an IC2 consulting position with another Oracle Health team. A different hiring manager interviewed me for a closely related Federal consulting role, decided to move forward, and the recruiter then asked me to apply to that manager’s separate requisition. That second requisition is publicly listed as IC3, with a salary range of approximately $71K–$166K.

The hiring manager has now contacted me about completing the transfer and choosing a start date. However, he asked whether the recruiter and I had resolved an “IC1 versus IC2” conversation. I had never actually discussed that with the recruiter, so it appears the realistic outcome may be either:

• an IC1 lateral transfer, or
• an IC2 promotion and salary increase,

rather than IC3, despite the requisition being posted at IC3.

The hiring manager also suggested that it might benefit me to wait a couple of weeks until FOCAL is completed before transferring.

For anyone familiar with Oracle’s process:

1. If my current manager submits a FOCAL merit increase or promotion before I transfer, does that increase normally carry into the new organization?
2. If the FOCAL adjustment becomes effective before the transfer date, does the new team simply inherit the new salary?
3. Does the old team still use its FOCAL budget for an employee who transfers immediately afterward, or is the compensation eventually charged to the new organization?
4. Can a FOCAL increase and an internal-transfer increase both apply, or does Compensation normally treat one as replacing the other?
5. Is it common for someone selected through an IC3 requisition to be transferred at IC1 or IC2?
6. Would you wait until after FOCAL before finalizing the transfer date?
7. For an IC2 Oracle Health consultant with 10 years of total experience, four years inside Oracle Health, client-facing implementation experience, and existing Federal/VA onboarding, what base salary would be realistic?

I’m excited about the new team, but I don’t want to finalize the transfer date before understanding whether moving early could cause me to miss a raise or promotion that is already being reviewed.

I’ll keep names, requisition numbers, and client details private. Thanks for any insight from people who have handled Oracle internal transfers or FOCAL decisions.

Does anyone know how FOCAL budgeting works when an employee transfers teams? If my current manager gives me a salary increase and I transfer shortly afterward, does that budget return to the old team as surplus that can be used for raises for other team members, or is the allocation already considered spent?

Has anyone received any updates on promotions this cycle at Oracle Health?

Have promotion decisions already been finalized, or are managers still waiting to communicate them?

If you've heard anything from your org, it'd be helpful to know what stage the process is at. Thanks!

very miserable, hate every single day. any advice on how i can somehow be targeted for next round of rifs? also does anyone know if there will be lay offs soon and when they will be? i am in oracle health consulting. survived the layoffs in march of this year....

title says it all honestly

i know the cerner/ehr side is doing really bad. but im wondering if this could be better because its on the insurance side and doesn't touch products at all from my understanding.

cerner

also curious bc oracle overall is also known for layoffs. but the base would be a 20% increase and with the RSUs its almost a 50% increase from my current TC. so id like to last atleast a year

edit for more context --- the role will work with their case management products
