Pros: Historic tech company that boosts the resume.  Lots of experienced workers.  Great training opportunities.  Really good money for very little work.
Cons: This pre-sales role is incredibly dull and not worth the stress if you have even one drop of personality in you.  It's the same dull work over and over again (calls, emails, Linkedins) to people who don't care and hate Oracle.  Management is terrible--does not understand why people aren't in love with sales and refuses to modernize.  Burlington office especially is full of New England WASPs who are blatantly sexist and think they run the world.  While real money can be made for very little work, metrics are constantly changing thus making the money impossible to actually get.  Management doesn't seem to get that this role is not about making actual sales and doing your best doesn't matter.  You can hit 400% of your number (you get capped at 200%) and still be berated / asked why you don't have anything going on.  Work from home and taking time off is virtually impossible, don't even try to take multiple sick days because you will get threatened with HR.  Oracle doesn't seem to realize that it's going down the tube and still expects its workers to worship the Oracle brand.  IF you like drinking and being around boring coworkers who do the same thing day after day, this is the place for you, otherwise don't waste your time on a company that just sucks your soul out.
