Pros

Free lunch in the cantine. Well with those salaries we really need it...

Cons

I have yet to see a company which doesn't take advantage of the "recession". Our manager at SAP would like us to work overtime without getting paid - well i guess all managers would like it, but this one is not ashamed to say it in the team meeting. Although the company is one of the Europe' richest. Now they don't even pretend having dignity anymore. I estimate around 2/3 SAP workforce are contractors ("C-users"), with very limited rights, severely underpaid and constantly under pressure, for fear the contract will not be extended. So come on, don't tell me its a "great company". If the capitalists are let go, they squeeze the workforce as they used to do in the 19th century. Since 1989 they don't have to pretend they care for social values, they lost any constraints since communism is not a threat anymore.

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
