Pre-Sales Engineer
Pros: Work flexibility, decent people. We are all in together in the Senior Management screw job being administered to the people that actually care about Oracle’s customers.
Cons: Where to begin - no raises in past 8 years. SC comp plan has been a joke for the past two years. DO NOT EXPECT TO GET PAID YOUR VARIABLE COMP - UNLESS YOUR LAST NAME IS HURD OR CATZ. They take and take with promises of “wait until next year”. It’s like an abusive relationship - you just keep coming back for more. All the good sales reps have left because there is no way to make your number. So the reps that are left don’t even know what EPM or ERP means. 

Senior Management is straight out “Wall Street” - greed is good. How they justify paying themselves over $200 million for 4 people and then telling everyone else - times are hard is a total joke. I hope karma is true because they deserve what they get. I can emphasize how bad a CEO Mark Hurd is - he trashed HP and is well in his way to trashing Oracle, while paying himself millions of dollars. 

The talent flight is well under way and is only going to get worse. They are hiring college grads because they don’t know any better, do a couple of years and then flee for a job where they are actually paid what they are promises - without all the lies, dishonesty and lack of respect. 

Do yourself a favor and don’t go here. This place blows and is only going to get worse.
