Oracle reviews

You will change teams constantly, with no explanation, just rip and replace. Happened to me 2 weeks into my first role. Success depends on your manager, your rep, and higher ups creating metrics. Some metrics don’t make any sense, some reps won’t give you opps, and some managers won’t help you with anything (or they micromanage). We were told $75k OTE but that number is closer to $56k (seriously… quarterly bonuses are less than a 2 week paycheck even if you hit quota) after taxes were probably looking at 50k total annual pay. People who hit 400% of their quota get paid a lot, yes, but those peoples attainment is… suspicious to say the least (you’ll see eventually). To sum it up… everything you are told is subject to change after the first day on the job.

Hired at Market value but you fall behind and there is no reasonable path to catch up. Management (all the way up to my VP) were powerless and could do nothing to help even if they wanted to. I calculated my pay deficit over 21 years, assuming I was hired at market value, and compared what I could have made if I stayed at market value (for example, by jumping companies as soon as I fell behind) vs. what I actually made at Oracle. 21 years of starting at market that diminished to a 38% of market value resulted in a heart-breaking $1.8 million loss in pay. A hard lesson to learn. Long periods of stagnation in title/role, even when you perform at a higher level for years. I've been a PMTS for 14 years even though I've been performing at the next level the last 5-6 years. I averaged 12-16 hour days over 21 years.
