Oracle - We make investment bankers look warm and fuzzy
Pros: To learn sales from the best in the business. By far the biggest reason to work at Oracle, particularly in sales and marketing, is the world class training you will receive, both on the job and in the classroom. Every technology company has a culture, Oracle's is a sales driven culture. Big deals make this company tick. You won't find bleeding edge technical innovation at Oracle. No, instead you will work alongside the most successful and well paid sales professionals of any Fortune 1000. Top field sales reps him earn well over $1 million a year with bonus, but their tenure is typically short-lived, unless they can keep that pipeline full. As a result the company attracts the top sales professionals in the field. Come to Oracle if you want to learn sales, but don't think of Oracle as a technology company. It is not.
Cons: Ruthless, take no prisoners culture. Willing to do anything for enough money.
