Pros

Working here has its ups and downs. On the bright side, many of my colleagues are genuinely nice, which makes day‑to‑day interactions pleasant. The company’s roster of governmental clients brings a solid level of stability, especially for those of us who are just starting out in our careers, and the recent move to a newer office is a welcome chang even if the space still feels a bit “okay” rather than inspiring

Cons

The workplace vibe can sometimes feel contagious, because unclear guidelines and high expectations create a lot of pressure. It often feels like we’re expected to deliver a lot without having a clear roadmap, and that ambiguity makes it hard to know exactly what success looks like. Compensation is another sore spot; at roughly €35 k a year, salaries lag behind what other companies are offering for similar roles, which contributes to a noticeable turnover rate. Career progression isn’t very transparent either, leaving many of us wondering where the next step is. And honestly, the food at company event (cold sandwiches) doesn’t do much to lift morale.

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.
