Pros

- You’ll make some great people (mostly young people in the Class Of program) - The managers, for the most part, are lenient - Low pressure, great work-life balance (you never work weekends or late) - Some work-from-home Fridays - After a year, there is a possibility to move internally within Oracle, like in Finance, Marketing, etc.

Cons

- It’s sales, but not in a closing role - you’re going to learn little that is applicable, even from a sales perspective - Your territory and product really are the biggest indicator of your success here - Managers can be too complacent and seem to not care about the job themselves, aside from hitting quota numbers - Training is tedious, repetitive, and not applicable to anything you do. The hours put in training are essentially a waste. - The Oracle sales organization is unstable at best, almost a change every single quarter

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
