Pros

- The people you work with daily are friendly.

Cons

- Compensation is far from competitive, with no annual cost of living adjustments. - Advancing within the company is extremely difficult. Their 'CPD' system seems intentionally designed to hold employees back for as long as possible. When advancement finally comes, the salary increase is merely a 'cost of living' adjustment. - The company prioritizes profits above all else. - As many previous reviews have pointed out, management often resorts to dishonesty to keep employees happy short term. This is particularly ironic given that 'Honesty and Integrity' is one of the company's core values. - Employees are expected to go 'above and beyond' for minimal reward. - You may be siloed to an area that you where you have no interest and remain there permanently. - Poor communication between upper and lower management.

Pros

The company has talented individuals in Europe and a solid delivery foundation. • Some strong relationships with Oracle in EMEA. • Opportunity could exist if Version 1 ever gets serious about properly investing in the U.S. market.

Cons

No genuine U.S. presence or strategy. The company is almost unknown in North America, yet leadership expects instant growth without brand support, marketing, or resources. • Promises made, not kept. I was recruited with the understanding that I’d lead U.S. Oracle sales and have a team built around me. None of that ever materialized. • Unrealistic quotas and constant changes. Quota doubled midyear with no additional support or territory. • Leadership dysfunction. Roles, accounts, and territories were reassigned arbitrarily — often to overseas reps unfamiliar with the U.S. market. • Poor alignment with Oracle. Leadership rarely engaged with Oracle’s U.S. executives or partners, leading to lost opportunities and credibility issues. • Micromanagement without accountability. Decisions were made from abroad with little understanding of local dynamics or what it takes to win here.
