      I worked at Oracle full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Great Company - Total Sales culture
      Work with the best
      Marketing and Events dept is awesome, it really supports the sales process
      As a sales organisation is second to no one

      Cons

      Middle management over confident and high on power
      Front line managers lack training and are picked from those people who fail at front line Oracle Sales
      What ever salary you start on will not increase much in your tenure

      I have been working at Oracle full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Flexibility, learning curve, paid courses, engaging projects

      Cons

      No real recognition for your skills - if you want a generous pay rise to match your knowledge and skills, you have to jump to another company or within the company. Not within the same team - which is a real shame

      Advice to Management

      does someone deserves a 15k increase? give it!

      I have been working at Oracle full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      High calibre people, mostly positive constructive management style and culture, brand, potential rewards / recognition. On journey to change from product to service organisation - intended destination will be good for Oracle and its customers. Can feel lost in large organisation - sometimes a poor sense of belonging.

      Cons

      Internal complexity, information communication overload, interference / competition from other Oracle lines of business (challenges of behaving as one Oracle), challenging targets / quotas for many.

      Advice to Management

      Challenge is to improve One Oracle market perception - separate line of business agendas, and legacy relationship issues are acting as barrier to greater success.

      Cons

      - No sick pay or benefits for the first 2 years (excl. bonus)
      - requirement to move to a London/Reading despite being on client site most of the week

      Advice to Management

      Do not make young people relocate to a London/Reading - it’s very expensive and absolutely not necessary for the job.
