Great Pay - High Demands
Pros: As an organization, Oracle is a highly competitive and dynamic place to work.  From a sales perspective, Oracle compensates it's salespeople very well, with the opportunity to not only receive commissions on "net new" sales, but also on sales generated by the "inside sales" organization.
Cons: Oracle is a very "process" oriented company, with little or no room for creativity in the sales cycle.  Managing the internal sales processes is extremely time consuming and cumbersome, often requiring as much time &/or work effort as managing the external sales process itself.  This cumbersome process can negatively affect the pace of the sales cycle and slow down the closing.
