Pros

SAP has a strong European feeling in the way they do people-care although they had to lay off last year. The former Business Objects side of the company seems to care even more for their people. Fair compensation and benefits. Large diversity of positions and opportunities for people although seems more true for SAP Labs than SAP Americas.

Cons

Career management is non-existent and promotions based on visibility and politics rather than performance. A lot of internal functions rather difficult to link with a software or service deliverable, lots of overlap between groups too.

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
