* Management running the business like a 'Financial Institution' and sweating the assets * Lack of Innovation * Top down command and control management style with little room for worker feedback apart from an annual survey * Line managers pushing workers sometimes too much often leading to health issues and high stress levels especially in sales and consulting * Best people leaving the business * Snr Leadership lack vision on next phase of growth * Lack of trust across many teams leading to many conflicts and 'battles' in the business * Lack of direction on future growth strategy - there is only so far you can go with current strategy * Customers don't often trust Oracle sale people

Pros

Good company to start at for general industry knowledge and understanding of enterprise operations. There is so much knowledge to be attained at this company it is ridiculous. They power the top companies globally, and hold deep relationships with the majority of executives in these top companies. It is a very sales focused company and will teach you flawless sales execution.

Cons

You are a number and completely replaceable. Management (finance and operations) ALWAYS maintain levers to reduce their costs and your compensation. Sales example: very complex compensation plans and your commissions will be held and delayed while they are "under review". Technical example: they will give your target base, but incorporate a set amount of "over time eligible" hours to achieve that number - and these overtime hours are at management discretion. So you will have to work longer hours to reach same base, and depending on how the business is doing management can simply not approve the overtime hours reducing their costs and your ability to earn. From a financial strategy you have to applaud the genius of the above nuanced strategy for maintaining cost control, it is just sad that it is at their employees expense. Also be wary if you cannot handle a cut throat environment as this is the way at oracle. There is so much pressure on hitting the numbers that people do bad things to achieve, and then they are rewarded with upward movement thus perpetuating that behavior. As the industry pushes to cloud and renewal business is more critical than ever, I am hoping this fixes itself.
