Pros

Travel opportunities to Europe and Asia Great campus in the Bay area Solid company offers stability and great benefits Cares about employee retention and diversity New efforts towards gender equity Top-down culture but engages with employees before and after making decisions Good social citizen with focus on sustainability

Cons

Away from headquarters is a pro and a con Little control over work assignments and time for execution Many organizational levels make it difficult to be influential Male-dominated and type A mentality Diversity is great but also means some cultural differences to overcome Heavy administrative processes (expense, performance reviews, procurement, etc.)

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
