Application Sales Executive
Pros: Depending on your manager, it can be a lax environment, flexible hours, and low expectations
Cons: For your Sales' cycles, your biggest competition is Oracle itself. There are a lot of internal factors that will get your way to close deals here - antiquated and expensive products, painful process requesting sales engineers, price approvals, and getting SKUs on the contract right. Each account you have will contain duplicates, many of which are not in your name. So when you get an opportunity, be ready for someone to try and swoop in to steal it. Seriously, it's pathetic watching a rep claim the duplicate company is in their territory, therefore your opp is their's. Managers are worse with it. This is only scratching the surface when it comes to how bad it is here. Unless you're desperate, don't consider this place. Oh, and it takes approximately a full month + to get an offer.....a full month AFTER you're done with rounds of interviewing. Yes, their internal systems are that bad.
