Pros

Working with some very nice people. Good working from home assistance.

Cons

Working for a client in the agricultural sector. It is concerning that they have handed over the keys to the technical decisions to the client who are not software engineers. A recently employed manager is in charge who is much less of a people person and reasonable than the previous manager which is causing some fantastic people to exit the company in a steady flow. They have no idea how to manage this situation but are treading water. The sick leave policy is now attached to disciplinary action whereby if you have too many occurrences then it can affect bonus or job security. Salary is lower than market which has been openly discussed on calls with the wider team with management promising reform for past few years. Other than these honest insights this company is a great place to work.

Pros

The company has talented individuals in Europe and a solid delivery foundation. • Some strong relationships with Oracle in EMEA. • Opportunity could exist if Version 1 ever gets serious about properly investing in the U.S. market.

Cons

No genuine U.S. presence or strategy. The company is almost unknown in North America, yet leadership expects instant growth without brand support, marketing, or resources. • Promises made, not kept. I was recruited with the understanding that I’d lead U.S. Oracle sales and have a team built around me. None of that ever materialized. • Unrealistic quotas and constant changes. Quota doubled midyear with no additional support or territory. • Leadership dysfunction. Roles, accounts, and territories were reassigned arbitrarily — often to overseas reps unfamiliar with the U.S. market. • Poor alignment with Oracle. Leadership rarely engaged with Oracle’s U.S. executives or partners, leading to lost opportunities and credibility issues. • Micromanagement without accountability. Decisions were made from abroad with little understanding of local dynamics or what it takes to win here.
