Vantaggi
Stable job Proper 9-5 job Hire really smart people Very good starting job with a huge branding. BDC is the first step into doing sales, but can't be stuck in this role for too long. Take the opportunity to learn about Oracle portfolio. Like it or not, they are one of the biggest corporation and there's a reason why. A lot of learning platform internally with a lot of helpful teammates. Huge investment towards the cloud, cutting edge technologies Great valuable certification from Oracle which is great for any future employment
Svantaggi
Coming from the BDC perspective, the BDC title is actually telemarketing. So don't be too excited thinking you are doing any "business development". Your job is just to pick up phone and call. Not much of a rocket science there. They hire graduates in pretense of learning sales, but you are basically cheap labor to pick up call, as career progression is really difficult here. From telemarketing, you basically move to another telemarketing role + sales closure. The BDC is constantly at risk of losing their value since there's not much ROI coming from this business unit, since their job is just demand gen. Also there are lots of office politics going on, since everyone needs to keep their job. While doing your job, you need to be able to manage politics as well.
