Pros
Oracle is an industry leader and it has great name recognition so it easily opens doors.The management is very supporive of the Inside Sales function and that makes a better environment as a launchpoint for success. The benefits are very good which is a blessing in todday's environment. As part of the Utilities group marketing into a fairly recession proof sector, job stability seems to be pretty solid. Innovation around products and the creation of marketing collateral to support the sales efforts is quite high class and allows us to present ourselves as technology anf thought leaders. In all, a pretty good place to land.
Cons
Working for a large company like Oracle, it's sometimes frustrating to be simply a small link is a very large machine. Bureaucracy makes it difficult if not impossible to bnreak out and try innovative approaches since there may be risk associated with these new things. There tends to be a mind set of, let's just tick the box and say we did it, instead of a culture of excellence where not only did we do something but we did it very well. This acceptance of mediocrity is easy to hide in a large organization and stifles innovation and the ability to create gound breaking messaging.
