Your personality has to match the culture of this organisation.
Pros: Freedom to execute on individual strategies as long as it shows positive results.
Huge focus on individual success, career promotions are based on proven individual contributions over a period of time not favouritism or nepotism.
If you have a well researched and factual business plan backed up by revenue return then it is possible to get any approval for a project in place.
Self-starters will be very successful.
Cons: Oracle impose a very aggressive and singular focus on driving revenue, to the detriment of customer relationships and CSAT. This approach is more aggressive in regions such as GULF, APAC, MEA. The company struggle to understand the value sales approach and how this relate to improving cloud consumption. The traditional on-prem license sales approach is still inherent in the management culture.
Self-Service culture can drive the most intelligent and committed individuals to become frustrated and ultimately leave.
