Pros

Talented senior management. Good experience to put on your resume. Lack cultural diversity. Long release cycle, allowing work-life balance at certain stages of the cycle.

Cons

Innovation is not encouraged on the ERP side of the business. Often, product decisions are driven by middle management's own agenda (ie their own job security). Middle management that comes from a customer support background do not know how to run a product management team. They have no sense of what "market-driven" product means. They only know how to run a team like a support organizaton. The reason why these managers still have a job is because R&D spends most of the time fixing bugs and doing customer support. What does that say about the product quality? There is no room for innovation although the company claims to be innovative. Alignment of strategies within the company is always a problem.

Pros

The pay is decent enough though you can get more elsewhere. If you work with the big accounts the job is very easy as most of them are so locked into Oracle there is no avoiding chosing them, if you cover SMB (tech GB as its known) you are in for a very long hard slog. Training is amazing and they do support you to grow professionally

Cons

You will never see a pay raise so make sure you get the best possible salary when you join. If you work in the SMB space its a very diffrent story Oracle hope to grow this area however they are priced out of the market, there is alot of stress on the SMB team and no clear direction from management every year they change the structure and hope the fall over one that works. Due to the size of the comapny it can be more difficult to sell a solution internally than to the customer and can (and most often is) very painful and slow. If you are considering moving from abroad to dublin to cover the UK (or any other as we cover most of europe) market, you should think again Ireland seems like it might be fun but its not, its backward, the cost of living is insane, dont get sick here either or you will be poor for the rest of your life, the one thing there is plenty of is drink, but even that is being shut now at 2am. If you are a family you are ok theres alot of countryside and the country is nice, if you are single think hard before commiting.
