      Great start but depends where you land. Product and management placement can be a crapshoot.

      Pros

      Really great 1st job to have on a resumé out of school. Allowed early advancement opportunities to field rep within 5 years. My original manager and organization was great.

      Cons

      Change. The company is constantly changing organizational strategy and leadership as they reorient to the cloud. Had 4 VPs in 5 years. Mark Hura (Cloud Tech SVP) seems to have a handle on issues and shortcomings. Lack of goodwill. Years of mistreating customers from shady reps and lack of true support can be difficult to overcome. Operates as 9 separate companies. Your success and experience solely relies on management and what product you sell. ERP and apps (NetSuite) are market leaders while OCI is last in the market with a lot to overcome.

      Mediocre job with mediocre people

      Business development consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary was fine, but there were none of the perks you find at other big tech companies like Facebook or Google--no free snacks, have to pay for the gym onsite, etc. You don't have to work very hard as a BDC/sales development representative/whatever they're calling the role nowadays. But you are VERY dependent on your sales rep to "help" you find opportunities.

      Cons

      I wish people had warned me about the fratty culture. Oracle sales purportedly hires "leaders", which includes former college athletes, student council members, etc. and ultimately results in a lot of former fraternity/sorority members being hired. The environment is quite literally collegiate, in that all the bonding activities involve drinking and people act like they're still living out their frat-bro days. It doesn't help that they hire in such large batches (I started with 100 people in the Austin office) and with so many people fresh out of college, which leads to the same cliquey-ness and gossip that freshman year of college entailed.

      Hostile work environment

      Pros

      -Resume Builder -Lots of young employees, fun environment, easy to make friends

      Cons

      -Misrepresentation of PTO. They say you get X number of PTO days but fail to mention that some of those will be forced PTO as the office is closed, and no you can't work from home. You don't get Christmas Eve off, seriously, who is going to take a sales call on Christmas Eve? -They have call competitions among the BDR's but everyone is logging fake phone calls to win. -BDR's "cheat" to hit quota, working leads that are not in there territory. -AE's misrepresent the annual revenue of leads they are working so that it looks like they are in their territory. This fosters a hostile work environment with AE's fighting over leads and arguing with BDR's. -The BDE team is an absolute joke, the meetings they put on for the BDR's are time sucks and not at all valuable. -They hire more BDR's than they have the bandwidth to promote, pushing out many BDR's once their year is up. Churning and burning through sales employees.
