Employment status: current

Good place to work if you are looking for stability, not good if you are looking for professional growth.
Pros: It's a global company, leader in it's field, always looking ahead, it has recognition in the market, sometimes to the level that it is overwhelming for clients.
Cons: It's just a branch, no meaningful opportunities for professional advancement within Canada.  In particular Oracle Direct, it is considered as the 'call center' of Oracle, and eventhough your senior management will be requiring you to be strategic in your work, the compensation only compensates the ones who meet the metrics (eg. average 50 calls per day, etc)  If you can't deliver that on a consistent manner, you could be in serious problems.
