Overall rating: 1/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Good place to start in sales. After this role, go to another company
Pros: * Oracle BDG has got an unique community. Everyone is social, supports each other and we see each other after work as well. There is a young and vibrate culture, which is one of the many reasons employees stay within BDG for a year - 1.5 year
* Good training courses & guidance at the beginning
* Encouraged to travel to your focus country regularly which is not possible for a BDC at another company
Cons: * No progression possibilities. It is almost impossible to become a senior BDC because of HR, favourism among management, and Oracle prefers external 'industry experts' even though they have poor experience in sales. 
* weird salaries/commissions. Nobody gets the same salary plus more than 50% of the commision goes to tax and everything is capped. You only get paid out until 125% and sometimes that is not even in BDG's budget. 
* unprofessional staff 
* many internal systems are not working correctly. So we lose a lot of time with 'logging interactions' and we miss a lot of opportunities when it comes to inbound leads
* Lowest paid salary for BDC. You can get much higher salaries for the same job at competitors
