Pros

SAP has a very good work-life balance ratio. Managers are well trained to manage their subordinates. There is very good flexible work policy and lot of exposure high quality design, architecture and Product Management

Cons

I worked in SAP for 20 years. However in the recent years, there is a huge degradation in the quality - It has become more of a talk than actual work. Lot of marketing has got in. More employees of SAP have started taking the management route, so product expertise has started dwindling. Especially in the last 2 years, lot of experienced and knowledgable people left SAP (either voluntarily or early retirement). Lot of this knowledge is lost and not properly handed over. Younger people are not properly groomed. SAP Technologies are not used much, so once you get in, you cant get out. It is very sad to see the company degradation for me. This was not the SAP I joined.

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.
