Pros

Good location Nice coworkers Good compensation if you happen to make your quota

Cons

The whole OD (Oracle Digital) Amsterdam has become a call center. They only care about your calling and activity stats since very few territories provide opportunities for sale. You might make your quota but only if you land a good territory. In majority of cases there's no chance of that happening and since territories don't change you're stuck. Have not seen a single case where a sale has happened due to a good salesperson. Most of the people are given false information during the recruiting process and then realize they are stuck for 1,5 years due to the relocation package. They have hired way too many sales people. Because of this they've had to divide the territories so that you'll get few accounts that make sense and rest is filled with nonsense accounts. Most of the people hired have very little sales or technology experience so there's no one to learn anything from. Very few career opportunities

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
