"Mean girls" sales management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

SAP field sales reps can make significant money. I've known several reps who made $2m in one year.

Cons

SAP Sales Management promotes a "mean girl" culture. If you're in the clique, you get assigned wonderful opportunities and can make significant money. If you're not in the clique, you get to create new opportunities on your own, but it's best to hide them from the head of sales of your group/. The head of the clique can not wait to reassign that opportunity and income to one of her followers. If you're talent is to be 90% inwardly focused on internal politics and currying favor from internal power brokers, this is an ideal environment. If you're 90% customer focused, watch your back.

Great brand, not a great experience

Pros

Depending on your manager, you can work from home whenever you want. They are very flexible on how you do your work as long as you get it done. Outside of the company, the SAP brand is respected. Free lunch in the Palo Alto location is a big plus. Their catering company, Bon Appetit, puts a big emphasis on fresh and organic food.

Cons

SAP is like working in a retirement home. A lot of lifers, a lot of people not wanting to leave their positions, and a lack of fresh and creative people. The CEO keeps talking about all the millenials he wants to bring in. All of my friends who are millenials were either laid off, moved into a short term contracted, or vastly underpaid. SAP people love to throw the word "junior" around and use it as a bad word to scorn anyone under 35. The company is super traditional, male, white, and top down style management. Unless you are a White or Asian man who can play hardball politics, you won't move up in this stale company.
