Director of sales
Pros: Can’t really think of anything positive to say even though I exceeded quota over the 3 years there as a rep and manager after being acquired.
Cons: You really are a number at Oracle. They don’t invest in their own talent as shown by inability to provide raises from internal hires.  For example, I could hire someone from the outside for a rep role for 120k/120k but could barely get someone we trusted to move from inside sales role 75k/75k.  And there is always more risk and expense by bringing someone from the outside. I was an honest employee and oracle came after me for 400 dollars worth of expenses even though I submitted all my expense reports prior to leaving. Also messing up on commissions was the norm and good luck getting them to pay you what is owed. In the 300 page comp plan, it protects them to withhold commissions etc. it is also common for lifers as we called them to sit on crm and wait for a deal to almost e closing to then state that it is owned by some private equity firm and that the deal should fall in their territory. This happened multiple times to my team.
