Pros

Friendly people all around. Doesn't matter where your office is located, you always find people willing to help and have a good chat with. Focus in licensing and training, really good for starters but not for SR Engineers. Some benefits are good. Really good environment with social events and modern office. AI focus but technically difficult jump in project as AI Engineer. Perhaps a couple of weeks teaching how to use GitHub Copilot or a project with GitHub Copilot if you are lucky enough. Average salary and benefits. Good bonus per quarter.

Cons

Depending on the project. You could finish in awful public sector projects with bad tech stack and toxic environment. Version1 delivery managers and managers doesn't know what happens inside the customer so you will be literally on your own. Could be a career killer for SR Engineers. If you finish in public sector is difficult or virtually impossible to move to private. Some people stay in bench for months without assignation. Security Clearance means job security in public sector but eventually stuck there for forever. Quarter reviews.

Pros

The company has talented individuals in Europe and a solid delivery foundation. • Some strong relationships with Oracle in EMEA. • Opportunity could exist if Version 1 ever gets serious about properly investing in the U.S. market.

Cons

No genuine U.S. presence or strategy. The company is almost unknown in North America, yet leadership expects instant growth without brand support, marketing, or resources. • Promises made, not kept. I was recruited with the understanding that I’d lead U.S. Oracle sales and have a team built around me. None of that ever materialized. • Unrealistic quotas and constant changes. Quota doubled midyear with no additional support or territory. • Leadership dysfunction. Roles, accounts, and territories were reassigned arbitrarily — often to overseas reps unfamiliar with the U.S. market. • Poor alignment with Oracle. Leadership rarely engaged with Oracle’s U.S. executives or partners, leading to lost opportunities and credibility issues. • Micromanagement without accountability. Decisions were made from abroad with little understanding of local dynamics or what it takes to win here.
