Great school, everything else is horrible
Pros: young and great colleagues, good on your CV, good work life balance
Cons: - it's a very hostile environment and everyone works kind of against everyone
- therefore people usually have a bad work attitude and you have to be scared that someone else "steals" your deal because they believe it's their account, not yours
- two years ago Oracle decided they now have to be customer centric (after >40 years they finally realized that...), as of now, they are not at all; they keep making the customers' lives hard, even just changing an e-mail address for the customer has to be done by the customer himself and can't be handled internally
- management is a disaster, no people management at all, they don't know how the real business is running, especially VP who has zero contact to the account managers, who do the actual work; no support during corona at all, no equipment, no appearance in team meetings by VP, no understanding, just being told to put books under our laptops...
- no onboarding, all self service only; new hires rely fully on helpful colleagues
- no people management, no development opportunities, no matter how hard you work
- new hires want to leave as soon as possible, waiting for their relocation budget to expire (bound for 1,5 years)
- it depends fully on your customer patch on how much money you make
- customers hate Oracle, no one is happy when you call and they usually had bad experiences with Oracle
- nothing is easy, every process is difficult, even just changing a customer's address
- men get paid more and have higher IC levels
- many people are leaving because there is no opportunities, no support during corona and the only fun thing (going to the office, colleagues) is not really present anymore
- no values
