Oracle reviews

First off let me explain (in case you didn't know) Oracle has SO much money that they don't even know what to do with it all. While Larry is out buying boats and islands his peons that he typically recruits straight of college are doing all the work for him. The managers have no clue what the products are/do and they are eager to watch an employee fail and throw them under the bus any opportunity they can. They hand out promotions like candy so don't worry actually needing to know the product isn't necessary just be liked with whomever you are under. Also, don't expect to make any commissions there and if you do it has nothing to do with your sales ability - you just got lucky. Again, it's not sales because if a customer doesn't want/need to purchase now from Oracle thats okay because they will just end up auditing you to get their money. Also their is huge incentive for the field to grow a deal larger but an incentive for inside to keep a deal small because i get paid larger? Seems like we should be on the same team right? It's a pretty messy company.

Most Toxic Work environment I've ever experienced. Have worked at Microsoft, EMC and Dell for inside sales and outside. Oracle Direct by far has the worst environment for Sales Reps and their Technical Sales Engineers. Reasons why: 1.) OD Managers all stick together like a 'Good ole' Boys' club. They gang up on employees in giving them a hard time when they speak up or don't take orders. It creates not only a unprofessional yet disrespectful toxic environment, but it spills over to how the reps and people around treat each other, since majority of reps are straight from college in their first job. 2.) When speaking to HR (not all HR but mine and another specifically for a team member) they are sided with the managers. Even pointing out evidence of how the treatment is shown. (Creates a sense of helplessness). 3.) Managers leave early and majority of the time not in their office, taking 2-3 hour lunch breaks, coming to work late and leaving early. The employees who they manage don't say anything since their job/territory/success within the company becomes jeopardized or work environment becomes a living hell. 4.) Huge call center where there's two people within 2 feet of each other, you can hear everyone talk or call customers on the phone. Doing training and concentrating is a task. Can't leave cubicle to learn within a quiet office etc since management wants you to be at your cubical at all times.
