Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Good place to jumpstart a career in technology
Pros: Oracle is investing heavily into entry-level talent by means of product and functional training. Obtaining a position as an Associate Sales Consultant at Oracle out of college is almost like college all over again. You are hired in a "class" of people your age from some of the best schools in the country, you receive extensive training and provided ample time to "ramp up," and the job isn't as demanding as investment banking or implementation/management consulting. It's a great balance and pays well.
Cons: It's easy to get comfortable in this position. You're paid well, Oracle allows a long "ramp up" period where getting fired is actually difficult, and you're given all the resources your need to be successful. It's easy to sit back and relax. Also, Oracle isn't the happiest place to work. Negatively pollutes some pockets of the company.
