Work in Eloqua is really challenging

Business Outlook

Pros

Recently joined in Oracle - Eloqua and work in Eloqua is challenging and salary offered to me is very good. I used to think that Oracle can't pay the salary of my expectations, but Oracle surprised me by paying salary on par with other start-ups. But to pay high, Oracle have certain check points on the quality of hire, which is very difficult to get through. I get to work on Core Product Development in Java.

Cons

Rumors in market that Oracle can't pay. But that's myth. If you are deserved, you would be paid.
