Pros

Oracle is a company where you can learn the ropes of selling to big companies. Oracle has a very rigorous sales process and has sales reps constantly working to better themselves so that they can sell more software. Oracle is a great place to learn the fast paced world of enterprise software. Oracle also has amazing benefits for both individuals and families. If you are looking for a place that has amazing benefits, this is the place. Also, if you're looking for a no travel sales job where you can make over $100K, this is a great place to work. Top inside sales reps can make upwards of $150K.

Cons

Oracle can be a really oppressive and depressing environment for sales people. Oracle has siloed sales teams and no team knows what any other team is doing. Consequently, customers are constantly complaining about the lack of internal communication at Oracle. It's not hard to find an irritated Oracle customer. Inside sales reps only have control of about 50% of their income. The rest of their income is dependent on their field reps to make up the rest of their income. You could be 150% of plan and could make less money than someone who was 50% of plan because their field sold a lot and yours didn't. This can make for some extremely disappointing paychecks.

Pros

This company will be around during the bad times. Their technology is in use at so many places a nuculear holocaust could hit and Oracle would still be around collecting their maintenance fees. Its also a resume builder to have Oracle on your job history.

Cons

The pressure is constant and starts right away. Everyone is nasty to you and backstabs you constantly. The compensation for inside sales is a joke for the revenue you're bringing in. Like to share a hotel room with your co-workers on your 2 trips a year? Oracle is the place for you. Even the coffee is bad. Its the most political company i've ever worked. And the technology is terrible, its so old and outdated. They don't know where to take it. I couldn't wait to leave, and I actually did pretty well. I could have never seen staying there longer than the time I did.
