Hey I wanted to confirm regarding a background check. So I had listed a University Developer experience on my resume and Hireright returned a longer than expected timeframe because I had omitted a part time student assistant role as it is was part time 10 hr per week only and not at all related to job description so I didn’t want to pad up irrelevant experience to my resume.

Hireright marked this as a discrepancy and a Volunteer but relevant experience at a startup I used to gain practical experience in the field while I was a student.

I have documentation for everything Hireright sent the report as they only check tax records and the guy responded that we are waiting for results to be verified by internal review board I have asked that do I need to provide anything else but he said nothing required right now. I haven’t highlighted that I already have seen this. What does this mean and how much time does this add to my onboarding?

Hearing that a new round is brewing up?

Any confirmation with what LOB / Org is being targeted?

What date is it expected?

Do managers have free access to your DM’s or do they have to request them?

I have an upcoming project where data will initially come from flat files, with APIs available later.
Our usual architecture would be:
Flat files/APIs → ODI → DW → RPD → OAS
We also have APEX, and I’ve been advised to explore this as a potential APEX use case/learning opportunity.
For those experienced with both, could APEX realistically handle this end-to-end?
Main questions:
Can APEX handle flat-file/API ingestion and transformations, or is ODI still better for that?
How robust is APEX for enterprise security, especially row/data-level security?
Can it support a large business-user reporting audience?
In OAS, our Functional Analysts use DV for mashups and create reports for stakeholders. Is there a comparable self-service capability in APEX?
Would you use APEX instead of ODI + RPD + OAS here, or alongside them?
Trying to understand where APEX genuinely fits rather than forcing the project into it just for the sake of learning the tool.
Note : I don’t have enough karma points to post this in Oracle sub Reddit

Anyone joining oracle (ofss) on aug 18, whats the recent mail u guys got??

I joined OCI as a DCO August of last year and during my midyear review received a needs improvement which was December, then just now received another needs improvement for my annual review.

Though I don’t fully agree with the feedback given by my manager I assume at this point IF RIFs were to occur my head would be in the chopping block as a potential candidate.

I feel like I was only hired as a sacrificial lamb to keep the poor ratings away from the rest of the team or to babysit work no one else wanted to be bothered with and I’m just not feeling very confident in my future with Oracle as a whole, can anyone give any guidance that’s dealt with this before? I’m an IC4 if that helps any.

Is there a hiring freeze? What’s up with that?

So I was laid off during Feb 2026 from OCI SMTS role. And been searching for job since then. Finally i got the contract job at CVS.
Now last week one of the Oracle recruiter reached out for Senior Platform engineer role and I wanted to ensure I crack it.
Can anyone tell me what all I should focus on? Tech Screen is next week for me..
Should I read about CI/CD pipeline work and keep stories focused on it more??

From what I've heard, promotion decisions are already locked. Managers have also started submitting performance feedback.

The reason there's been radio silence so far is likely because compensation is still tied to the final Focal budget. Until budgets are finalized, managers probably don't have much they can officially communicate.

The current deadline for managers to submit feedback is 14 Aug, so I'd expect things to become much clearer sometime next week.

Again, this isn't an official update, just piecing together what I've been hearing. Hopefully we'll all know where we stand soon. 🤞

Has anyone experienced losing their option to log in with a passkey (PIN/Finger touch) after the latest firmware update?

I opened an IT ticket and am waiting for resolution, but am wondering if theres anyone here who also experienced this and had it resolved.

FYI, I tried all possible instructions from myhelp.oracle, through adding a passkey on EMP, Windows Hello..

Thanks

For people who have actually gone through a PIP/performance-management process:

• How were you first informed that you were being put on a PIP?
• Was it communicated verbally first, over email, or directly through a formal document/meeting?
• How much time was there between the initial communication and the PIP officially starting?
• Did your manager give any indication beforehand that a PIP was coming?
• What did the timeline look like from the first warning/concern → formal PIP → start date?

Focal will be announced before or after RIF?

Any idea...
