Pros

Big enough company that it will be around for a while.

Cons

Oracle is blind to the massive Cloud and SaaS changes going in the market place. They're just too slow to adapt and they can't just buy their way out of this one with acquisitions. Company is incapable of innovation for anything other than their DB. Bland, boring, culture. Creative folks are not part of the Oracle DNA.

Pros

The is a division of Oracle that sells the training for all Oracle products. No Pros

Cons

Very demanding with quota. The quota can never be met and the expectations are unfair. Then when you don't hit your quota you get put on plan or written up. You have to talk a more than 2 hours on phone to customers and if you don't you get written up. Some territories are set up so you sell against other Sales people and compete within the organization leaving deals to get poached and stolen from you. Internal management is horrible with large egos and no understanding of what the sales people have to do to close a deal. Very unfair on how they approve discounts with customers all for different amounts. No consistancy and policies quickly changes with the weather changes. Don't work for this Oracle Division, it is HORRIBLE!

Pros

Oracle has a great brand name. Everyone will know what you do. It's my second job out of college, so the sales experience has been helpful and I've also worked hard.

Cons

Overly political culture. Promotions based almost entirely on "who one knows". Incredibly incompetent managers (see above - the cream doesn't rise to the top.) Lots of busy work to create fake urgency and make everyone run around like a chicken with their heads cut off. Absolutely the most back stabbing, cold-blooded corporate culture that I've ever seen.
