Pros

Great product line and prestige. Also, the vast majority of Oracle employees are very intelligent and very talented. It was great to work with a group of smart people.

Cons

Incredible pressure to perform NO MATTER WHAT. They are very intolerant of outside circumstances and current market conditions. The numbers have to be met no matter what happens. No excuse is tolerated and that is because the expectations flow upwards. Each manager has heavy expectations on them and each one of their managers has even more on their shoulders. Also, Oracle will reduce staff regularly and without any fanfare in the market place. They will whack chunks of the org chart with no notice. Only producing salespeople are safe.

Pros

Great Benefits packages. Access to world class customer base. Oracle has great and knowledgeable people to work with. Great opportunity to travel. Generally, there is a collaborative culture and people are usually willing to help newcomers

Cons

Lack of innovation resulting from relentless focus on licence sales. The organisation is very political. This can be a plus as it enables people good at building relationship to succeed. However, those who are less social and more diligent may find progress difficult.

Pros

To learn sales from the best in the business. By far the biggest reason to work at Oracle, particularly in sales and marketing, is the world class training you will receive, both on the job and in the classroom. Every technology company has a culture, Oracle's is a sales driven culture. Big deals make this company tick. You won't find bleeding edge technical innovation at Oracle. No, instead you will work alongside the most successful and well paid sales professionals of any Fortune 1000. Top field sales reps him earn well over $1 million a year with bonus, but their tenure is typically short-lived, unless they can keep that pipeline full. As a result the company attracts the top sales professionals in the field. Come to Oracle if you want to learn sales, but don't think of Oracle as a technology company. It is not.

Cons

Ruthless, take no prisoners culture. Willing to do anything for enough money.
