Pros

Great place to start a career, you can make a fair number of contacts internally.

Cons

Short-sided business decisions. Your success or failure is tied directly to the competence of your manager and their manager. Many of the regional managers are beyond incompetent.

Pros

My team and the larger group I worked for were a terrific group of very talented people. Employees had access to sophisticated technologies (subject to some budget restrictions). Company policies and administrative processes were well defined and highly automated. Oracle provided significant resources for tech support, mental and physical health, investigating career advancement, and human resources issues. The company took ethcs very seriously.

Cons

Job performance demands were exceedingly high, with tighter deadlines and more responsibilities per employee becoming the norm. Different groups within the company often did the same things in completely different ways, using different sets of tools. Development projects often skimped on the design phase and requirements changed frequently, resulting in wasted time fixing bugs and redesigning features. The members of another team who served as my primary working partners were good folks who had trouble allocating sufficient time or effort to our common tasks.

Pros

Looks good on resume. I can see no other reason to work for them.

Cons

1) Meet Grinder 2) Leadership at VP level has no understanding of what makes employees productive 3) Employees are numbers, not people 4) You can make money, but it is not worth it 5) 20% of the employees are making all the money, while everyone else starves 6) Territories are not thought out correctly 7) Morale sucks to say the least 8) Management leads with fear instead of encouragement 9) Management is very arrogant and often do not listen to employees 10) too much red tape and politics 11) too much micromanagement 12) too many products to sell and customers are confused 13) There are no restrictions for customers to use the software, so sales folks have to always give the customers the bad news that they are out of compliance running software without paying for it
