After an extensive interview process that took over two months to complete, I was offered the job. The offer was presented to me down to salary, bonus, benefits, etc. I asked for the offer in writing and was told that the written offer would be available when I needed to sign documents right before I started. I was given a target start date. When that day came and went, I stayed in close contact with management. Three months after receiving the offer, I was told that the position was not actually funded. I wanted to post this experience as a warning to others...DO NOT QUIT your existing job until the last possible minute and be a little leary on the Oracle job offers.
