Any updates here? I left in 2014 but I am hearing they are cutting again.

It is the customers who will suffer, as productivity drops through the floor, with low morale and people jumping ship. Product features will be slower to come out, and support will weaken, due to good people leaving, and remaining people not only... — read more

Just got moved to a "License Only" sales team within Oracle which is pretty much a glorified BDC. No more commissions. We now have a pooled compensation plan based on KPIs. I don't get it. I was over 100% quota in my ASR role. Lots of the kids out of... — read more
