Can't speak for other parts of the org, but Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is growing fast. Most teams have a target to double+ staffing within 6 months, and from what I've seen, they're roughly succeeding with their goals.

I don't know that Oracle specifically works to transfer staff around (not been in a situation to know). The job boards _are_ open and available internally, and some of the OCI growth is happening via internal transfers. People from across the company are specifically reaching out to hiring managers.

Anyone else remember far enough back to when OCI referred to the Oracle Call Interface (C library)?

There's little traces of "OCI" with different meaning all over the place in Oracle, so far as I've seen. Guess it's just one of those useful TLAs that keep repeating.
