Cons

- Management keeps changing every half a year! Thus, no vision. - No career progress, unless you are well integrated with management. - Salaries are really underpaid, compared to other competitors! - HR is 100% passive - Your day as a developer has less than 50% development related tasks - No education budget - Raise cycle highly depends on you you political skills, rather than technical. - It is not a software company, it’s a product company! - Management old way of thinking! - Personally, I don’t like open office areas to work at, too loud!

Pros

The people at SAP are genuinely nice, and the culture is generally supportive. The work-life balance is good to an extent, but when you're busy, you're BUSY. SAP is highly complex so expect to take a year to ramp up.

Cons

Only way to get a high salary is if you're hired externally. They do not reward employees who are loyal to the company. Closed opportunities often have to go through the Compensation Exception Committee, creating uncertainty around earnings. Prepare for constant change, whether that's solutions being removed from your sales bag, account shifts, territory realignments, or changing compensation policies. Quotas can be difficult to attain
