Great team, solid company. Very creative, interesting people. Very supportive upper management. Lots of opportunity to make a impact on the work you do. Intense work environment but a good work life balance. Can work from home often

Systems engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Some good benefits. Good company to get training and then move on to where you will be appreciated and rewarded. Great Software but Hardware side of Oracle is dying, big business is moving getting rid of their Sun estate and buying HP, Dell, IBM and running red hat as Oracle Hardware is far too expensive.

Cons

Poor senior management in the UK, no pay rises very little career progression. no interaction with people, everything is done via email, making you feel even more like a little cog in a big wheel. Made to keep doing courses that are a waste of time and add nothing to a persons skill set. Lots of Rah Rah conference calls where managers pat themselves on the back for a job well done. Very greedy company, everything is about the bottom line and selling as much as you can. It's all about the money for the top one percent, very much like a wall street firm

As corporate as it gets

Sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good to have on resume, especially if you stay at least a year or longer. Other employers will know you've endure the crazy Oracle grind.

Cons

Internal processes are very complicated. The hardest part to closing a deal in a Sales role is "selling" the deal internally. You cannot close a deal without MANY internal departments but beware of the uphill battle.
