A LOT of constant pressure and being fired is always a constant menace.
Database is the ONLY product with good sales. 

Oracle is a great company, I did love the pressure they placed on myself, because they forced me to become more efficient and to worry a lot about my prospection process and who I wanted to be and do. 

The big problem with Oracle are 2 things, management and HR. Manager will pretty much step on you every single time they have a chance, and to be honest to my reader mine WASN'T like this, yet as soon as he switched to another company i started seeing outside the bubble he had created for us. It is often to see people worried or crying about getting fired, because for Oracle if you ain't doing your quota you are not worth their time, and you'll be on the street by the end of the Q. 

Does this sound too extreme? Well..that's the true way it is. 
So why do you stand up to this? The payment is good. 
Why is HR another problem? Because there is little investment on the situation of their employees, and before even considering switching you to another manager or product, getting rid of you is a better choice.
