Pros

I can hardly tell any bad things about SAP. The starting benefit packs are awesome, also the salary is awesome... at the beginning. Gym, functional trainings, company car, now company bicycles, private medical care. So all in all it's very decent. The career steps are more or less clear, it really depends on which component you are working and who is your manager.

Cons

So yes, the management. And I can only talk about the local direct management. The board, and international the management I think is pretty good, but locally I had some wtf moments. The thing is why I left that my managers ( there were 2 of them, not at the same time ) always talked JUST good what I'm currently doing and "keep doing this" and "you're good and you are a major part of the team we need you like a piece of cake" and at the end of the year I got no promotions for 2 years and reeeeally small salary increase. At that point even the juniors got more salary than me, when they just fell out from the university onto the doorsteps of SAP.

Pros

Good work life balance over time, culture of help, good opportunities to advance and move around, decent pay, ceiling for commissions is high.

Cons

Are increasingly finding ways to dock compensation and make rules around comp confusing and unclear. Internal processes, tools, and policies are incredibly complex. Very difficult to find people to support basic customer issues. Sales becomes a catchall for customer problems, leaves little time to sell. Benefits and pay increases decline year after year.
