- Sales Representative in Burlington, MA
- Such a large company creates a lot of confusion about what is going on and internal politics between many reps being mapped to the same account can cause conflict. Some organizations are less successful than other, not a con, just be weary that often your org can determine how successful you will be. Very old school values in terms of work life balance, not much WFH in my experience ( though usually depends on manager).
- Anonymous Employee in Redwood City, CA
- A lot of political, especially large percentage of VPs/directors/managers/engineers are from one country, they helped each other, very difficult for others to get career growth. Compensations are very different from organization to organization. Seniors with low salary have to prepare leecode to get new job in order to get close to average market compensation.
- Operations Analyst
- Lots of corporate bureaucracy that makes you want to pull your hair out, not super innovative or creative, raises are non-existent, culture and workplace can be extremely volatile.
- Business Analyst
- Tough to move up, work load can be difficult.
- Software Engineer in Nashua, NH
- Things moved very very slowly
- Business Development Consultant
- High turnover, constant change, monotonous role, they do not set you up for a successful sales career because of internal conflict and red tape
- Senior Studio Specialist in Redwood Shores, CA
- Oracle seems stuck in an archaic business model that is just getting by in today's world
- Applications Sales Representative
- Micromanagement, scarce territories, unobtainable KPI's (not one person has EVER hit their quota in the C2C organization)
- Sales Consultant
- Lack of raises, lack of mobility
- Cloud Analyst in Austin, TX
- Project managers are hit and miss. Some are absolutely awful and have no idea what they're doing, but some are extremely knowledgeable and actually know how to talk to people.

- Sales Compensation in Rocklin, CA
- Lengthy and ineffective processes cause workload to build — High team turnover - people don't last long due to the high stress levels where everything is due yesterday — Unlimited time off = less vacation time in realty — Very political and lots of high tension — No Bonus - compare that to other technology companies where annual performance bonus is standard — —
- Senior Engineering Manager in Portland, OR
- Late to the cloud game, slow to advance careers, minimal to no salary increases.
- Product Marketing Specialist in New York, NY
- It's boring. You don't do much work, things are slow paced. The company is behind because of legal/security concerns, which I doubt. I just think people don't like to improve on things. The atmosphere is all party and no work. People make a lot of money to do absolutely nothing. OKRs are barely tracked, there's barely an employee review process, people don't really get raises till they get an offer elsewhere. I'm actually leaving soon.
- Director in Boston, MA
- Working at Oracle, say as a consultant, means that you simply don't have a true base, except that of your client. You get to travel wherever the business brings opportunity.
- Staff Consultant
- Too many hires, not enough work - work is repetative
- Senior Product Manager in Redwood Shores, CA
- Most of the concerns of a huge company. Getting things done takes time, influencing big strategic changes is very very difficult. There's no concept of feedback or evaluation of one's performance, and in turn no bonuses or raises. Raises and promotions are basically bound to the number of years you spend here. There is little to motivate you to perform better except the love for your work itself. It's important to think about a process of motivating your employees either through promotions and raises based on hard work, or other kinds of benefits. Also important to be strategic in the new processes being implemented and aim to be a more open culture like Microsoft has become in the past decade, to stay relevant and liked in the industry.
