Sales Consultant - Oracle Interactive
Pros: Pay - Nice Coworkers - Nice location
Cons: They hire top professionals and build teams but due to the political fractions inside Oracle some teams  get ZERO work to do because it is competing with other internal teams.
My team was one of the unlucky ones. As a presales i was used to deal with several new opportunities per week, in Oracle i got less than 10 opportunities within 18 months.
On top of this, management was really poor, first, in handling the opportunities situations, but also in keeping fairness within the team and ensuring a healthy environment.
There were team mates sitting side by side where one could do work from home on a weekly basis where another "unlucky" one could not do it at all.
The tools that are given to the PreSales team are borderline to be ridiculous ,  sometimes you need to sell a service that is not available to you to test it and build a demo, therefore making your job very difficult.
The plethora of systems, policies and even communication channels within Oracle makes it a very bad place to work in my opinion. In fact, many people have left in the last month and many are planning to do so.
