Oracle Reviews in Singapore, Singapore Area

Pros

To grow technically and work with Industry latest technologies.

Cons

A few which are generic in nature.

Advice to Senior Management

Retain the talent. Every single drop of the ocean matters to incorporate robust and everlasting nature!

Pros

Multi-cultural, flexible working hours, friendly colleagues depended on your team. If you are driven and proactive, there are plenty of opportunities.

Cons

There are not many team-bonding and cross-team building activities, but the country leader is currently working to improve it. It is a sales-oriented culture. It can be very stressful if you dont hit your number.

Advice to Senior Management

Please continue your effort in bonding the different lines of businesses. BDC's role is boring, stressful and has little job satisfaction. Perhaps the mgmt should re-design the role.

Pros

Big firm, decent technology, and being a megavendor in the enterprise space meant it was easy to get in the door with prospective customers.

Cons

Big firm, too much technology following pac-man style acquisition spree, lack of integration between products and product life cycles caused confusion with prospective customers. Management style more in line with watching Gladiator movie.

Advice to Senior Management

Simplify technology road map. Sell off the under performing or non-strategic assets to a Computer Associates and let them be responsible for running them into the ground while scraping any maintenance revenue that is still on the table.

Pros

They know how to make money.
Very structured and well organised along the lines of One Larry, Two (and now Three) Presidents. Very well managed in terms of costs and able to execute their single-minded strategy well. 55 acquisitions in 3 years give them a lot of talent and new IP. Aggressive competitor in the marketplace--a force to be reckoned with

Cons

Every increment/discount change requires Top Management 's approval

Advice to Senior Management

How will life at Oracle continue after Larry?

Pros

Well recognized brand in the market and good opportunity if you want to work in different locations. if you are doing a good job, then more can be done like education assistance.

Cons

Political, bureaucratic, low pay, long hours. approval procedures are very long, contractual procedures are very slow and needs a lot of time. for a sales person in Oracle is very stressful as it is a very number driven company.

Advice to Senior Management

more flexible with working hours and get rid of the red tape. the amount of time spend on admin tasks is way too much.

Pros

its a well known company. other than that there is nothing good going for it.

Cons

too many to list. incompetent management & bureaucratic & extremely inefficient. you will be lucky if you get paid your commissions due. the compensation plans come out late in the mean time you are not pai dyour commissions, the systems do not talk to each other. people development is not a priority. communications to staff is poor, no transparency in what they do. no work life balance. ppl still work & stay contactable even when on leave or sick. management does not embrace change. pursuit of excellence is non existent

Advice to Senior Management

embrace change, be open to feedback. look at your internal processes. many of it needs to be overhauled.

Pros

1. Flexibility and enormous opportunities that keep arising with the constant change.

Cons

The constant change ! Depending on the management chain of the division, it could result in a total destruction of all career aspirations and constantly reviewing where you're headed.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep in mind that revenues will not grow indefinitely through acquisition at the rate you desire and you really do need your own staff to help in that regard.
