Oracle reviews

low salary and no stocks after 4 years

Where to start...I started my time at Oracle as a BDC and later promoted to a sales rep role. Aside from the phenomenal training with great leadership, we ended up in training significantly longer than we should have due to hiring freezes and lack of organization putting us all on teams and inseat. Essentially, they hired too many of us and not enough seats so they had to recreate teams and add new teams to fit us all. Some of these teams were pretty bad with made up campaigns making it impossible to get meetings and opportunities for some. This is a consistent issue amongst all of oracle including netsuite, they over hire people and then when it's time to promote, its nearby impossible to find a role. They change the BDC metrics every quarter, making it harder than the last because they don't want to pay bdc's big bonuses. If there are open roles, it's all politics. Managers already know who they want to replace you with before that person has even quit/or been fired. Pretty self-centered company as many sales companies are, high up VP's and C suite genuinely have no problem laying you off at any given moment as long as it benefits them. Sales management can either be cutthroat or lenient, genuinely no inbetween. And if a manager sucks and everyone has expressed that, they don't care or get fired because it's all about who you know here. This company does have some amazing people but just as many bad ones as well. The level of disorganization at this company is insane. Constant change or the orgs, territories, and never any straight up answers as to why. Half of our technology that we use on a day-to-day basis doesn't work half the time. Oh, and don't even get me started on the operation team here. They'll pretty much get your account and SPT's wrong every single time. Also, lower paying than most sales jobs. I enjoyed my time as an entry level employee but its not worth much after that... unless you have a high tolerance of all the BS. Get in, get your sales training and experience, and get out.
