Pros

Great brand recognition. Big income possibilities if you exceed your quota. You will be surrounded by "A players" that are incented to help you sell. Broad array of software solutions in your bag. Market leading position. In the large company market, there is only one real competitor (Oracle). Integration and industry focused solutions with built-in best practices are great selling features.

Cons

Management pressure every quarter. Account shuffling every year sometimes means you lose accounts you have invested months to cultivate. You get a new Sales VP just about every year. License pricing from SAP Germany is confusing. No real SaaS solutions available to sell. Tough economy to sell big ERP.

Pros

I really liked my role at SAP. After being a cloud Customer Success Manager supporting strategic clients for several years, I moved into a group doing digital customer outreach including producing newsletters, release enablement, webcasts, documentation, event registrations, etc. Salary and bonuses were good, no complaints there.

Cons

No real cons for the job that I was in, except that our group was eliminated by the corporate restructuring and reduction in workforce in North America in 2025. I would have loved to stay but unfortunately we probably showed up on a restructuring spreadsheet somewhere and it was determined that our services were no longer needed. We off-boarded most of our work to other existing employees (who already had full time jobs), which felt unfair to them, but that is how it shook out.
