Pros

Outstanding products, solutions and efforts toward innovation. Many bright, hard working and aggressive people. Connections in the industry are great and SAP "card" is a door opener.

Cons

Too much of the focus today is on sales and marketing goals (and results), with not enough recognition of general economy. Product development and solutions expertise seems to have become a second priority wtih executive management looking at the numbers drive. The "partner" game and high margin goals can cause bad behavior.

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
