Pros

- brilliant client base - partly very bright collegues - excellent installed base - potential to grow to double digit again

Cons

- to many people in Germany never came over the fact that SAP went global - communication is really poor and industry business units, which were once the catalyst of SAP are paralyzed since years - poor performing employes can keep there jobs for years - wrong KPI's at Software development - not enough possibilities to grow - development is still to much focussed on germany - too much focus on growth markets and not on mature markets - poor marketing

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
