Sales Manager
Pros: Great work-life balance
If you are looking for a company where not performers are recognized and stay there for a long time "surviving" being hated by your reps but loved by your VPs , Oracle is the right company for you
Cons: If you are a talented professional and want to progress your career unfortunately is not the right company for you.  Also is you are not Irish and do not support the big Irish management gang working there you are not the right person at all. Do you want to know how a 80/90s  company is working in 2016? Welcome to Oracle!! No strategy or plannification! CRM is the worst ever ..main tool used internally is Excel which means data is highly not accurate so everyone can make up numbers easily. BDG is a total mess, ISRs too. Cold calling and ridiculous KPIs that can't be measure properly are main part of the job for fresh graduates or experienced reps that are totally by their own to achieve targets. Unfortunately most of the directors and VPs are dinosaurs that never sold Cloud solutions in an Inside Sales org which means they do not have any clue how to go to market. Creativity and proactivity is being killed internally by Directors rather political environment and personal favours are seeing as normality
