Wow, there's no place quite like Oracle...
Pros: Looks great on your resume and will open doors with other potential employers
Good compensation plan
Many very bright people work here
Cons: The most political and back-stabbing environment in which I've ever worked
Most sales reps and sales management are fairly dishonest, immoral and out for themselves
Horribly inefficient systems and internal communication
Poor customer service, particularly as compared to direct competitors
Tons of hoops to jump through to get simple things accomplished
Nightmare if you have a weak manager
Management is deflating and does a horrible job at motivating positive behavior
Management frequently overlooks complete HR violations
Management tolerates verbal abuse among their employees and is verbally abusive toward employees themselves
Horrible training and very difficult to find; no one leads you to resources
Oriented toward individual contribution, not teamwork
