Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Paid well to be absolutely miserable
Pros: - The compensation and benefits are very good, especially for someone coming straight out of college with little experience in sales or IT.
- It is a good introduction to business, IT, and what you can expect to encounter working in a massive corporate environment.
Cons: - Convoluted bureaucratic processes make it impossible to get anything done.
- Sales targets are largely unattainable in many territories.
- The company has extremely high turnover so they recruit hundreds of new sales people every year to backfill positions left vacant by employees quiting or being fired.
- It's difficult to overcome the negative image of Oracle which makes it difficlut to sell into your assigned accounts.
- Unreasonable and seemingly arbitrary performance metrics and mandatory processes for weekly activity.
- Company culture is cut-throat and greedy.
