Pros

- Training is available though usually on your own time - Great Benefits - Ability to work from the inside, and learn the products - Great employees, access to development team - Job Security - Room for growth - Middle Managers will listen to your grievances, but can only do so much

Cons

- Very small pay raises, that will never keep up with their own pay brackets - Overworked, long hours, need to work well past your shift, and proactively on your days off to keep up, but limited in the number of hours you can log for Over Time, so you are not compensated for it - Management keeps adding more and more to the job requirements, that is taking the focus away from the core business - Products seem to be unnecessarily buggy when first released - Constantly being reminded how well the company is doing (revenue & market share), and how much "support" is generating, but not getting tiny focal (budget) increases for raises - Company seems to be hell bent on saving costs no matter what - There are many co-workers to that either do not care about the job, or are just not capable of keeping up, causing more workload / stress on top performers - Stress

Pros

Very flexible working in the company (work from home or office). Work-life balance somewhat depends on the software cycles as expected. Above average health plan, and about average 401k. This is a great company for someone who wants to have a relaxed life, BUT (see bottom of Cons section for the rest).

Cons

Talent is not abundant here. Due to the above, career advancements pace is rather slow. (continuation of last sentence).... BUT I do not recommend it for any top school ambitious college graduate. If you have a mortgage, kids, and want a laid back job then this place is for you. Just keep in mind: - career growth: almost non existent. -compensation: almost non existent. - Rewards for excellence: almost non existent.

Pros

- The compensation and benefits are very good, especially for someone coming straight out of college with little experience in sales or IT. - It is a good introduction to business, IT, and what you can expect to encounter working in a massive corporate environment.

Cons

- Convoluted bureaucratic processes make it impossible to get anything done. - Sales targets are largely unattainable in many territories. - The company has extremely high turnover so they recruit hundreds of new sales people every year to backfill positions left vacant by employees quiting or being fired. - It's difficult to overcome the negative image of Oracle which makes it difficlut to sell into your assigned accounts. - Unreasonable and seemingly arbitrary performance metrics and mandatory processes for weekly activity. - Company culture is cut-throat and greedy.
