Oracle Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Oracle full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Excellent work environment. Provides opportunities for growth internally. Excellent Brand Value. Very strong leadership team at the corporate.

Cons – Maintains very tight controls and some decision that could be taken at BU level too has to go for the highest levels of approvals.

The company has and is bloating with multiple acquisitions some of them really providing cutting edge and breakthrough technologies that can position Oracle in greatly advantageous position the market, However, integration of these acquired technologies in to their main steam offering is rather slow.

C&B specifically is seen as the biggest challenge seen by the mid/senior management, partly due the fact the salary ranges of an acquired product/service company gets merged with the Oracle standard salary ranges. And this doesn't take in to account the acquired companies domain expertise / skill sets and leaves little to no room for managing future increments of the acquired talent, and slowly you start seeing loosing them to competition. And this impacts the longterm positioning and integration of the acquired technologies in to the main stream prodcuts.

Advice to Senior Management – There is a lot of product overlaps, but when position it to a customer, the field Sales and Account teams MUST come together and represent as "ONE Oracle" to the customer and NOT compete internally, address and position products that best fits customers requirements considering protecting their longterm investments on products and technologies from Oracle.

C&B team to align offering in line with the technology/industry domains to remain competitive from the time an acquired company gets fully merged in to main stream Oracle, failing to do so results in loss of talent acquired by shelling huge monies.

Current Employee – been working at Oracle full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – As with any employer, your experience is more a factor of who you are working with and what you are doing. In my case, Oracle has turned out to be the best job I've ever had. I avoided Oracle for years because of its reputation of such a hard driving, aggressive sales force. Instead, I've found a professional culture that respects and values the contributions of SCs. My products work, and they are some of the best in the industry. There is none of the "blame the SC" culture that I've found at other companies when things go wrong. I'm making as much money here as I've ever made. The benefits are some of the best I've ever had. My teammates are knowledgeable and helpful. The hours are reasonable, plus we make overtime due to Oracle's unique comp plan.

Cons – There is a definite competition between different sales groups as Oracle, specifically apps versus tech. That can make it difficult and frustrating for SCs who just want to get the job done while the reps argue account control and strategy.
