Oracle does some evil shit. Their sales tactics can be outrageous. It really doesn't seem like they give a crap about their clients/servicing them.

  The biggest tactic I've seen is their inability to be consistent. In 2 years, I spoke to 3 Oracle reps and received vastly different quotes for the same hardware, features, processors/cores, etc.

    Oracle’s pricing is “whatever we can get from the customer.” Their salespeople are so hyper-agressive that I can tell which vendors have ex-Oracle reps.

      Definitely! We actually dropped one vendor because it was all ex-Oracle salespeople, and their negotiation tactics were outrageous. They tried to hold us over a barrel and instead we made a major platform change in six weeks just so we could tell them to f-off.
