Pros

Look good on the resume

Cons

- Low moral constant for many years now - most of the employees are way below pay market range while Sr. management enjoys the highest paid in the country! - Employees have not had any salary increase or bonuses in many years (unless you are in India) - If you work at Oracle, do not expect any special holiday bonus or even lunch .. not for thanksgiving ... not for Christmas ... or any other holiday for that matter.

Pros

Some of the best sales training around. Extensive class on negotiating, cold calling, leaving voice messages, etc.. Oracle Direct (inside sales group) does recognize top performers with awards and there are quarterly events. Sr. rep program allows you to work from home up to 2 days a week.

Cons

Starting salary is low. I took a $20K pay cut to work here only before the OTE were greater. This was fine for awhile but the company does not pay out their employee's correctly on commission. If you are not paid on a deal you have to submit a form to rectify the mistake and that can take 30-90 days until you are paid. This was happening so much that in June 2013 the company took away the 30 day pay-out and now pays their commissions out in 45 days. So anything I would close in September, I don't get paid on until November 15th. The management is very micro-managing. They will sit at your desk and listen to your calls on a splitter. The call stats you are supposed to complete each week are not realistic. On numerous occasions, employees will be asked to sell a product that they do not get paid on and will be promised a SPIF or prize (like an ipad). One employee was the top seller on a certain product like this and instead of sending her an ipad, they sent her a check, that was taxed and was not even enough to buy an ipad. It seems that they do not believe in employee retention because if you want to move to the field, the salary increase is no worth it. You may get a 6% salary increase. If you were to switch companies for a field job you can get a 6 figure salary easy. This is a big reason why Oracle Direct has such high turn-around.

Pros

Nice people Still some interesting technical challenges if you're working on the right products

Cons

Most of Operations management are not competent. They try to hide it by micro-management and intimidation. There are WAY too many Directors and VPs in the organization. Little to no pay raises for the worker bees, no real appreciation or recognition either. Opportunities for advancement are hard to come by. Extremely bureaucratic, lots of internal inertia
