Oracle Marketing Cloud - startup within an enterprise
Pros: The oracle marketing cloud is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of oracle to work in. There is ongoing and heavy investment in the product. Oracle is a great place to be an "intra-preneur". That being said this culture is not for everyone. working from home is almost the standard at oracle which lends itself to a great work life balance. Oracle have a flexible benefits scheme in UK which is fantastic as it essentially gives you a 10% boost to your salary providing you choose to take the benefits as cash which is obviously not the most tax efficient way to use the benefit but helpful nonetheless.
Cons: It is difficult to obtain a pay rise at oracle. There are numerous cloak and dagger tactics used by management and the feeling is that they don't want to reward loyalty and achievement. it is widely accepted by employees across sales and presales that an offer from a competitor is one of the only ways to go about getting fair reward for your efforts.
