Pros

Nothing worth mentioning, standard consultacy "perks"

Cons

Hard to decide where to start: 1) very questionable sick leave policy, in short if you get sick 4 times over 12 rolling months. You will be given letter of concern and conversation with your manager. Which is overall very questionable in terms of GDPR . 2) Last changes in management/leadership team brought disruption and a lot uncertainty between staff. Before the focus was to keep a good balance between keeping customers happy as well as staff. Now the focus is just profit , profit and more profit. To keep shareholders happy and most likely aim for another sell of company. 3) very confusing and biased process for promotion, in short even if are checking all the boxes to rank up. It could be easily written off , just because somebody "else" is in qué for promotion or "lack of budget" 4) salaries are at least 20% below market average depending on your role. 5) most of the projects are in public sector, which depending on the project could be carier killer 6) your taks will not be limited to your title. Most likely will need to do additional work that is outside your job title or competencies.

Pros

The company has talented individuals in Europe and a solid delivery foundation. • Some strong relationships with Oracle in EMEA. • Opportunity could exist if Version 1 ever gets serious about properly investing in the U.S. market.

Cons

No genuine U.S. presence or strategy. The company is almost unknown in North America, yet leadership expects instant growth without brand support, marketing, or resources. • Promises made, not kept. I was recruited with the understanding that I’d lead U.S. Oracle sales and have a team built around me. None of that ever materialized. • Unrealistic quotas and constant changes. Quota doubled midyear with no additional support or territory. • Leadership dysfunction. Roles, accounts, and territories were reassigned arbitrarily — often to overseas reps unfamiliar with the U.S. market. • Poor alignment with Oracle. Leadership rarely engaged with Oracle’s U.S. executives or partners, leading to lost opportunities and credibility issues. • Micromanagement without accountability. Decisions were made from abroad with little understanding of local dynamics or what it takes to win here.
