Stay away - Miserable & soul destroying

Pros

Getting paid out when you leave.

Cons

The company is absolutely miserable and soul destroying. It is a huge bureaucracy ruled only by lawyers and bean counters. The company treats employees like idiots. The IT systems are so antiquated the 1960's would be a huge leap forward. There are constant layoffs, off-shoring and down skilling. One moment they have a love fest, the next moment massive layoffs. Our customers absolutely hate us. The products and services we provide are mediocre to poor. The business model appears purely to buy something decent then run it into the ground. Politics and favoritism are the basis of senior management decision making. The company is struggling as the revenues dry up as customers move to other modern companies.

Pros

At this point, I would say there are very few true pros to working here as an Analyst. You will basically get a paid vacation during your 5-6 month training period which is a joke, and you will more than likely not bill over 50% during your first year. If you are lazy and want to chill this is a great place to be honestly.

Cons

I really feel like I have to warn college grads to not take an offer here. It really used to be a decent program, but at this point it is really just predatory/extractive. You will start with a base salary between 55K-60K and it is relatively common to get a 15%ish raise around your 1 year mark. The thing that is terrible about this is that the few who work really hard for a whole year, take on challenging work, and learn the software get the same raise as the ones who billed 40% all year. After your first year, getting a 2nd promotion is iffy at best and to even be considered you have to meet all the same targets and do the same work of the regular consultants who are making about double what you do (100K -120K plus bonus). Even then, you are not guaranteed anything which is ridiculous. Also, as an analyst you get no bonus and have only 13 days of PTO vs unlimited for the regular consultants. Not a huge deal and is probably fair for your first year or so but after that you are expect to do literally the same work so it is bit ridiculous. It took over 6 months after being promised a promotion to actually get it for me and I had met every req they laid out in front of me. Management is also completely out of touch with anything. I just went through my 3rd reorg of the year and my new boss (also 3rd of the year) has hundreds direct reports. This sends a clear signal that they really just don't care about individuals. Morale overall is just low right now. There are definitely worse jobs but everyone I talk to is either angry or miserable. A lot of this comes from the 0 accountability culture here coming from sales and management. Unfortunately no one really cares here anymore. It's not even a secret.

Pros

High base pays to get lazy reps on board.

Cons

No upside unless you can do a license audit. No new business to speak of, especially in the commercial space. Customers hate Oracle and only speak to them for fear of audit. Internal LOB conflict is ridiculous. Management are bullies and have no people skills or leadership. Th French mafia are turning a great company is to a telesales call centre.
