Experience level: Confirmed

Mostly good and improving
Pros: I have been promoted 3 times in a relatively short time and have made a lot of money working for Oracle. I have also grown as a professional and learned a lot. The work can be hard and the hours long but it is well rewarded. There really is no glass ceiling if you are willing to work hard and have the right attitude. New building is truly state of the art.
Cons: East point is a nightmare to get to. The processes and admin can be cumbersome but getting better all the time and not a lot worse than other IT company's. The basic not increasing when being promoted from Bus Dev to Sales is a major con and leads to a lot of attrition. Reps can join from Bus Dev, perform well and remain on a 30k basic for a number of years. When they are finally promoted the process can take 6+ months of approvals to actually get the higher salary. This is really not good enough. If a rep meets annual target too fast instead of rewarding this effort, the target can often be doubled which is very unfair.
Some politics, but again, it is getting better. Desperately needs a proper Gym. the current one only accommodates a max of 8 people and the equipment is very poor.
