In this third instalment of our monthly topic ‘Spotlight on
an Office’, we visit Dublin, Ireland
Oracle has 5 offices in Dublin all in the EastPoint Business
Park close to Dublin City centre. In Dublin there are currently 1,000 people
working for Oracle. You’ll find, among others, a large part of OracleDirect,
our inside sales organization, part of our EMEA Finance organization and
employees from Product and Systems Development who work on the heart of
Oracle’s products.
Facilities
EastPoint Business Park is located next to the Irish Financial Service
Centre (IFSC) and is only one train stop away from Dublin city centre. This
seafront business park and nearby amenities cater for staff’s needs, which
include a Sandwich Bar, a Coffee Shop and a small Convenience Store and
Newsagent. Moreover there is a Physical Therapy Clinic and Beauty Salon onsite,
Pilates and Boot Camp classes, weekly WeightWatcher Classes, five football /
tennis courts and an outdoor chess board.
When the sun is shining
On sunny days comfy, colourful beanbags are spread
throughout the park to relax and every Wednesday there is the Irish Village Market
providing staff with a variety of delicious gourmet foods from all over the
world.
Friday afternoons after work are often used by Oracle
employees to start the weekend socializing in The Epicenter Cafe Bar &
Venue.
In the office
In the Oracle offices, you have an open floor design and an
open door policy which makes it really easy to walk over to your colleagues or
a manager to discuss your projects and keep informed with what is going on. This way you also have
a great chance to bond with your colleagues. In two of the Oracle buildings
there are subsidized canteens especially for Oracle employees with chefs
cooking something special everyday!
One of the best things about Oracle in Dublin is that it is
really multinational. Currently there are more than 25 languages spoken by
Oracle employees. So you will work with colleagues from all around the globe,
every day, which makes it a really interesting and exciting experience.
Sport & Social
There is also a dedicated Sport and Social Club, Oraclub.
They organize many sport and social activities. It doesn’t matter which sport
is your favourite, Oraclub caters for like-minded individuals and makes sure
you can play or watch your favourite sport. Furthermore, Oraclub organizes
exhibition matches to get you acquainted with some other sports. Last year the
Gaelic Warriors (A Wheelchair Rugby club) held an exhibition match.
Oraclub also offer Oracle parties, language courses and
offer discounts on many events! So whether you want to go to a Robbie Williams
concert, an exhibition of Van Gogh or a match of the Irish Rugby team, Oraclub
is there for everyone! There are also plenty of possibilities to get involved
in volunteering.
