Spotlight on an office - Moscow
- by Maria Sandu
Probably the most famous place in Moscow, after Red Square,
is the centre of Moscow. Here you can find beautiful buildings that seem to
touch the sky, located on the banks of the river. In one of these high towers
you can find the Oracle offices, friendly and modern. The stunning view will
keep capture your attention for a couple of minutes and then you can enjoy a
delicious coffee and take a seat at your desk, starting a new day.
My name is Dmitry and I can tell you that we’re enjoying
every minute spent in the office and that’s because of the pleasant atmosphere.
As soon as you enter the offices, the friendly environment will make you feel
more relaxed. Even though the space is split between the different departments,
we interact and communicate a lot. We take our cup of coffee or tea together
and discuss our achievements and all sort of subjects in the kitchen or in the
open space. One of my favorite parts are the festive events when we celebrate
with cakes and goodies. Any birthday or new arrival is a good reason for a tea
party!
We have some work-related traditions that help us as
employees. One of them is the monthly Tech Hour when Experts from the Pre-sales
team discuss technical topics and about the most recent innovations within the
company.
Lunch is another good opportunity to interact and chat. We
have a variety of options, such as the two kitchens or the vast number of
restaurants where you can serve up anything you want. As we are right in the
centre of Moscow, you can choose between Sushi, Italian Pasta and all sorts of
food. We usually go with our colleagues to have lunch.
If you care about your health, I have very good news for you
as nearby there are two first-class fitness centres with swimming pools, yoga
and various sport classes that you can attend. My suggestion would be to either
start or end your day with a visit to the swimming pool for a well-deserved
hour of relaxation. As I mentioned before, we’re right in the heart of Moscow,
so after work you can spend some time in the large shopping centers where you
can choose between many different entertainment options. We often go to bowling
or to the cinema.
I hope I have given you a glimpse into working life at the
Oracle offices in Moscow, a really great and pleasant place to work in, so follow
