Pros

Great compensation package - very high commission for software sales. Huge brand advertising and PR machine - real door opener. Customers CV is wrapped up in SAP Brand and they support - almost slavishly. Good events and great Philly office.

Cons

Worked like a dog, far too inwardly focussed - as if Bill McDermott is a god, not just going for CEO but the Papacy. Huge number of internal reports and spreadhseets - huge CYA meetings and reporting. Shamed/Embrassed by poor customer value delivered for software and esp support. Now a hire and fire organisation - do not expect a career in sales at SAP ,just work your butt off, hang on and enjoy the ride.

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
