Oracle reviews

- promotion/ progression into various roles in NetSuite from the BDR position is not possible anymore and basically employees are only allowed to apply for one position only- different from what was promised when being offered the BDR job, making the reason to join this program in the first place obsolete - constant changes inherently relevant for the BDR program are not communicated at all or passed along through the “office grapevine” - training is non-existent or absolutely useless, which is what is promised as prt of the program in the first place

Talking about the Amsterdam HUB here - it actually all depends on where you work and under which VP - but we recieved similar horror stories from other HUBs Corporate flustercluck. It is harder to justify why you want to sell a product to a prospect than to actually sell to the customer. I have never seen a company so eager to mismanage it´s sales departments. Although the position is marketed as a high volume based sales role with loads of customers and a strong brand and marketing engine behind it, the reality kicks in at about 2 months in. You are a telemarketer - not even supposed to sell, just generate some activities (cold calls) and schedule appointments for partners or colleagues to actually sell the solution. There are unspecified KPI´s and the micromanagement is strong with this role. Basically you are a overpaid call agent or an underpaid, bored to the bones sales who is struggling to get the chance for a deal due to infights between the managers and departments. Oh - and you do not have a fixed territory - it changes every fiscal. Ps. Do not count on data quality. Base-line: You have to be damn good at politics, lying and sucking up to your managers to have a reasonably good time here. And even the best at these skills are not what one would call "successful"
