To see what’s in store at Oracle’s next Open Day which comes to Belfast
this week, I visited the offices with some colleagues to meet the team and get
a feel for what‘s in store on November 29th.
After being warmly greeted by Frances and Francesca, who make sure Front
of House and Facilities run smoothly, we
embarked on a quick tour of the 2 floors Oracle occupies, led by VP Bo, it was
time to seek out some willing volunteers to be interviewed/photographed - what a shy bunch! A bit of coaxing from the
social media team was needed here!
In a male-dominated environment, the few women on the team caught my eye immediately.
I got chatting to Susan, a business analyst and Bronagh, a tech writer. It
becomes clear during our chat that the male/female divide is not an issue –
“everyone here just gets on with the job,” says Suzanne, “We’re all around the
same age and have similar priorities and luckily everyone is really friendly so
there are no problems. ” A graduate of Queen’s University in Belfast majoring
in maths & computer science, Susan works closely with product management
and the development teams to ensure that the final project delivered to clients
meets and exceeds their expectations. Bronagh, who joined us following working for a tech company in Montreal
and gaining her post-grad degree at University of Ulster agrees that the work is
challenging but “the environment is so relaxed and friendly”.

Software developer David is taking the Movember challenge for the first
time to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s
health. Like other colleagues in the
office, he is a University of Ulster graduate and works on
Reference applications and Merchandising Tools which enable customers to
establish e-shops using Oracle technologies.
The social
activities are headed up by Gordon, a software engineer on the commerce team
who joined the team 4 years ago after graduating from the University of
Strathclyde at Glasgow with a degree in Computer Science.
Everyone is unanimous that the best things about working at Oracle’s
Belfast offices are the casual friendly environment and the opportunity to be
at the cutting edge of technology.
We’re looking forward to our next trip to Belfast for some cool demos
and meet candidates. And as for the camera-shyness? Look who came out to have
their picture taken at the end of the day!
