Pros

SAP pays well, provides generous benefits and has a valuable brand name.

Cons

SAP has lost its edge and is floundering in its efforts to reinvent itself to survive the rapid decline of the ERP market it once dominated. The company is handicapped by its own arrogance, rampant cronyism and ruthless culture. It rewards those that add no value but are masters of toeing the line and preserving the status quo.....and it punishes those that actually know what they're talking about and dare to speak up about changes needed for the company to succeed.

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
