      A Sinking Ship

      Pros

      I started working when it was still Responsys - sad to see Oracle ruin such a great company. The benefits are good other than dental. I was pleased with the eye care benefits. The people are good (but I am referring to mainly former Responsys employees which are dropping like flies). Nice clients (but that is if you're lucky). Lots of random perks - Passport, My Oracle Perks, and other random discounts.

      Cons

      Oracle treats you like a number and only cares about your impact on the bottom line. Who wants to work for this? No one. It's not bad enough they show no respect to you as a human, you will also not get a raise. And if you are bonus eligible don't expect more than $300. Every single system in Oracle is archaic, slow, and to be blunt - crap. I have seen some of my best coworkers leave this company because there is no future here and your hard work is not appreciated. The company itself is too old school - doesn't support work from home. The random perks they try to flaunt about aren't that special - and sure do not make up for all the downsides Oracle has. In this highly competitive environment Oracle isn't providing ANY reason to stay there.

      Cloud Sales Rep (Class of Review)

      Indoor sales representative

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Extremely valuable training program -Great experience at a Corporate Company -Good benefits -Good work/life balance -Made good friends as most colleagues are college graduates -Nice to have name on Resume

      Cons

      -High Turnover rate -90% of reps are negative and do not like working environment -Within my first 1.5 years I had been in 3 different territories, had 3 different managers, 3 different teams, and 3 different directors. -They will block internal transfers, extremely hard to grow internally. They encourage reps to look at other opportunities within Oracle after a year if sales is not true passion. I interviewed for a new position within Oracle, informed my boss of my interest of this transfer and got their verbal approval. After multiple rounds of interviews I got an offer. But then it was blocked by my Sales Org because they were too unorganized to sign my approval. I was given a shrug and told there were many other jobs at Oracle I could apply to, and got short-listed as an employee who was going to leave or quit soon. Honestly I know more reps who have had better luck leaving Oracle and then coming back instead of transferring internally. -They do not care about employees in their indoor Sales Dept. Cut-throat, they layoff or demote loyal and hard working employees. No method to the madness. We are easily replaceable -No trust in our leaders Joanne Olsen or Todd Cione -Bad Commission Plan -Long sales cycles, can take a year to close deal -Slow moving ship -Lead Generation/BDC teams are a joke. They stuff the pipeline with fake/bad opportunities, in order to hit their big bonus. Only to cut opportunities down to reality at the end of the quarter. Sales teams receive no real support. -No praises, no raises -Not true sales role, In good territories reps are merely paper pushers for field reps. Accounts are not distributed fairly, year after year bad territories never clear 15% of their quota. Some reps are glorified, even though they never made 1 cold call/email, they just got lucky in an Oracle hot territory and/or had a good field rep. -Recruiter told me I would make 80K after first couple months, I make 45K. Misrepresentation. -They micromanage -Annual re-orgs

      - It's Oracle - makes your CV look good - If you are happy to spend 3 years in a job and move to a different employer, this is the place for you.

      Cons
