More Cons than Pros
Pros: Oracle was a great company. Many enterprise level applications. Work life balance was good. Resources were great
Cons: I was always told you get paid well so to put up with the dysfunction. Middle management has no empowerment. Multiple pillars don't work together and are encouraged to compete against each other for the customers budget by their management. The college hire program is great for the new college kids but lack of training and focus on call the customer 100x a week has pushed customers to hate Oracle. The experienced Field Sales has to apologize for the lack of professionalism by the telesales teams. The Cloud is great but Oracle's Cloud Strategy is siloed with no real direction by leadership. Leadership is so focused on saying they are #1 in Cloud by acquiring good Cloud Solutions and then demolishing the acquired solution over time. Other great companies such as Workday, Salesforce, Click, ServiceNow are truly great in the Cloud and take care of their customers and employees. Many of these companies are lead by former Oracle executives that saw Oracle Leadership at the very top with no vision and losing it's respective place in Enterprise Software.
