Pros

-Hard to think of any pros, unlike other companies who provide benefits such as stock, free food, company events, career growth, Oracle lacks all of this. On top of this, the sales division is incredibly crooked and unethical. During my 2+ years of tenure at Oracle I have seen 5+ reps actually suing the company for not getting adequate pay on deals they worked on/closed. This company will suck away your soul, even if you're incredibly tough minded, hardworking, and positive.

Cons

-Quota target/goal is unrealistic, and is used to ensure that employees will receive little to no commission (more money to execs, management) -Management has little clue on how to teach, mentor, help their teams -95% of success here in Sales is based on luck, (what territory did you get and will your field team include you in ongoing deals) -Management is terrible, they are not qualified and do nothing to respect the requests of Sales Reps -The company is unethical, crooked, and you will NOT be rewarded for your hard work or participation in closing a deal. You will be rewarded if you are chosen as a "favorite" by a management team that is unqualified.

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.
