Great place to break into tech sales for their educational program
Pros: Oracle gave me the highest title and salary when I switched careers to tech sales. They taught me a ton about sales and technology. The support system with engineers, and sometimes management, is useful to those just starting out. They have excelled at educating millennials and this is one of the highlights Oracle touts nowadays. I was lucky and was able to make good money and be promoted to a more autonomous role after 6 months.
Cons: Many of my coworkers were not so lucky.... there is a constant reworking of product mix and territories which does not allow anyone to make money or establish relationships with their accounts. This is crippling to a sales person. Management seems  to be made up of "who will stick it out long enough" as most talented people move on quickly. The business model has changed and Oracle is playing catch up, therefore, its not necessarily management's fault that morale is down and people are leaving all the time. It does make for an absolutely depressing workplace and I'm glad to be gone.
