Pros

Oracle is one of the top companies within IT. A seriously recognized brand. I was proud, when I passed the interviews and got a job offer to be a Staff Internet Consultant for the Oracle Digital team in Amsterdam. Oracle is proud to be a "self service company". For everything there is a procedure and a web portal. Nice to have. Oracle's products are cutting edge and the technology behind all that is impressive. The offices are somehow nice, the coffee is ok, the fruit could be a bit more and the Friday evening drinks are a nice opportunity to have a chat.

Cons

Oracle is proud to be a "self service company". For everything there is a procedure and a web portal, BUT if you don't fit into the system, you are out. I had the unpleasant experience not to pass my probation time, because my relocation was totally screwed up. I relocated to Amsterdam and then I was told that I will receive my first payment six weeks after I started and that the deposit needed to rent a flat in Amsterdam is not covered by my relocation budget. The whole story turned out to be a nightmare. I literally "annoyed" everyone in management, legal and hr, told them my story and asked for advise and help or maybe an advance to my payment. I received no feedback or help. All got worse, when I got seriously sick and then on return got fired without any direct contact to hr or legal. They saw me stumbling, failing, drowning and then they fired me. No money, in a foreign country, no home and literally no food. All requests for contact and comment are not answered. Thank you, it was a questionable experience.

Pros

Great place to learn if you are only starting in IT Sales, potential to negotiation a decent salary on entry. Strong name on cv

Cons

- Struggling to move to cloud, products don't compare with competition e.g. Salesforce - Extremely disorganised sales operations function, could find yourself waiting 6 months not knowing which territory you cover - the business will win by acquiring companies however employee exist to demonstrate market penetration with very little return - leadership team are very oldskool, Oracle digital is run by oldskool leaders. They need fresh ideas to achieve what they trying to in cloud space - 15% of reps hit yearly quota
