Oracle Reston reviews

Old guard is the weakest link if they have never left to experience other companies’ culture, management styles, and returned to Oracle. HR empowers and protects short-sighted, insecure, transactional Toxic Management at the cost of sales flight risk and long term customer satisfaction Senior Management P & P are inconsistent and transactional. They are not monitored by Sales Excellence for consistency in Oracle culture, communication, and team KPIs. Constant layoffs and reorgs Quarter close is transactional; steamroll Customers are valued as a transaction not as a strategic investment ASMs are constantly rotated through accounts Tenured employees are intentionally paid low base salaries unless they leave Oracle and return Cutthroat culture: no trust among multiple product lines, Cloud, ASMs, BDRs, and cross product leadership Club is held in Vegas immediately before Vegas-based Users Conference. Many multi -year club winner ASMs and many Sales leaders are boycotting it, since Oracle post COVID is refusing to properly invest in a Tier 1 Club nor to pay for “significant others” to attend. Quotas don’t take into consideration that in some industries, Customers are fed up with siloed cutthroat Oracle go-to-market. Many legacy customers are instructed by procurement to go out to bid for lower cost options, supported by customer-friendly account management and value-based commercial terms.

Your experience will vary widely depending on what business unit you are in and what product you're aligned to. The wrong business unit and senior management and your time will be miserable. Find the right fit and it can be a very rewarding and fulfilling period of your career. Compensation is ok but not as competitive as Oracle's counterparts in the tech world. They'll swear up and down that they pay competitive rates in the market but the reality is compensation increases will be much faster if you go somewhere else or leave and come back, especially if you aren't given RSUs as part of your compensation.
