Oracle Associate Project Manager I reviews

- never know which team members and what kind of manger you get, it may kill all the joy from work - can get a project with difficult and not easy going client, or difficult colleagues with non flexible mentality - too many new processes, constant improvement is good, but not in this ridiculous volume, but it should easy in the future - business trips can be very tiring on site as this is a consulting job, often people are jumping from working full week to a business trip shifts which last 12 hours 3-4 days in a row - assoc PM are expected to do lots of admin job and project management analysis and tasks, almost automation of the tools and too many excel sheets are used - it heavily depends on what Sr PM thinks of you as well which should not be the case, but unfortunately 2 Sr people opinion can be enough your manager to believe them - multitasking is considered as a must which is not good at all (scientifically proven fact) - super fast pace when everything should be done almost immediately, to set priorities and see what has to be done later requires at least 2 years of experience in the team and projects - as in any corporations, lots of ad hoc asks with short notice on top of project urgencies - way too many calls + ad hoc calls and people who lack the ability to keep to the point and finish the call early - lots of back to back calls and almost no time left to do the actual work

Growth is limited unless you commit yourself 100% to the company (not conducive for reservists)
