Pros

The benefit package is great. The work is challenging and engaging. There is an opportunity to meet and work with good people. Working for SAP looks great on a resume.

Cons

No work life balance. Consultants are expected to have 20 days of training a year, travel on their own time and still bill 40 hours a week and maintain a 90% utilization level. Expense polices do nothing to make life on the road easier for the consultant. There is no cost of living allowance or adjustment for exchange rate issues in the per diem for high priced areas such as Paris, France or New York City. It seems that margin is more important employees.

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
