Fake it until you make it
Pros: Big, financially solid and resourceful company. Many perks and self-service materials for those who like to study and improve themselves. Pay is typically above average and everything invested on the Salesperson will be expected back in your sweat and in your numbers. 
Weekly Sales forecasts will transform you in a fierced salesperson for life!
Cons: Perhaps too big of a company.  It wants to compete in all segments of IT and also wants to be the leader in each of those areas, at their employees' cost, with blood if needed. Thus, not a place for friends. 
Internal processes and systems in use at daily business operations require an amazing dosage of patience, conflict resolution experience  and outstanding self-control because it is slow, each area seems to compete with each other and egos can get in front of clients needs first, often. 
It is very dissapointing to see the way Oracle treats their Business Partners and how slow it is too create good new partnerships.
And reports.... Oh boy, worksheets/Excel!  Even though some of the best technologies in the world are sold by Oracle (not necessarily used by them) Excel worksheets still reign and are more reliable.
