Sales and Culture
Pros: Oracle has the brand name recognition which is great for selling it's products.  But most or many Oracle customer's simply do not like Oracle.  You can make good money or you could, and I've been with the company over five years.  Benefits are also good.  I love selling the products in my current sales bag.
Cons: CEO Hurd has taken his failed approach at HP on slicing down sales teams with fewer products over to Oracle. All while providing competing sales comp plans which creates huge confusion for the customer and slows the sales process.   At Oracle if you are in sales, you competition is always internal first focused.  The Apps teams are completely silo'd and never work with anyone, although some groups tend to work together it is really project by project based, or frankly, relationship based in the field.   Oracle contract process is failed and horrible.
