Use it as a springboard and get out as soon as you can
Pros: - cool colleagues
- good work-life balance
- reachable targets
- loads of job offers (for some reason oracle still carries a good reputation)
- modern office building
- free gym
- some teams & markets do well depending on products, others don't do well at all
Cons: Where should I start?
- relocation package binds you to the job (DO NOT TAKE IT!!!)
- commission just got lowered by 9% "we miscalculated" even though Oracle carries more than 23 billion in liquid assets
- commission got messed up before due to "mistakes" and they had mistakes with it historically as well
- payments are inconsistent, some people get payed way more while others only receive half, then get reimbursed later (if you claim it)
- pool attainment scheme which leads to you getting payed less than agreed on in the initial contract
- you can get by with basically zero effort, just work on relationship management and you can basically stop working
- change of KPIs all the time, how should we communicate this to stakeholders?
- coaches are an ABSOLUTE JOKE
- half of managers are incapable, some have never been in sales positions, loads can't give any advice
- trainings are absolutely worthless even though they always claim to have some of the best in the industry
- people get hired with false promises
- fluctuation is insane, if you are in the position for more than 10 months, you are basically "senior"
- path to progression not clear, depending on your language portfolio you have good or bad chances
- uneven salaries depending on the market you work for
- partly toxic climate, half of people are applying to new jobs during the day 
- basically no product training whatsoever
- salaries are low comparing with the major cloud vendors in Dublin
