Pros

SAP is an Incredibly resource rich company from a cash perspective. The pay is great and the benefits are top of the line

Cons

Incredibly arrogant, Highly political, "Old Boys" network . Culture is highly corrupt and underhanded. SAP is the most corrupt company in the software business. An incredible amount of customers are in "escalation" in other words they have failed implementations on their hands. The legacy SAP products take years and millions and millions of dollars to implement - and they still don't work as described in the demos. The user interface is something out of the 1980's. If you come in from the outside and question the status quo, you are labeled a malcontent. SAP Executives are shuffled from job to job within Newtown Square as part of the "old boys club". It is a very hostile work environment for women and minorities.

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
