Consulting Sales
Pros: High standard products and highly experienced consultants to work with. Organisation consist of a lot of various knowledge on different kind of businesses. Company actively seeks new rising technologies to keep on leading edge.
Cons: Organisation is extremely siloed and has many internally competing technologies and services. This confuse employees and even more the customers.
The company has 5-6 separate customer support and consulting organisations that are loosely coordinated with each others.
This makes people to protect individual business over everything else and this is not the best for the customer and may/has lead to customer dissatisfaction to Oracle as a vendor.

Management has been dispersed to multiple countries and is dependent on managers maturity that directs would get the support and help they need to success.
It took 5 months until I received my personal sales quota and focus customers.

Company is highly driven by numbers and personnel comes after. Followed by this the company stress to give sales personnel unrealistic targets.
