Pros

Great Salary, Great benefits and paid time off.

Cons

SAP is a great company overall. However, if you are lucky to be in a department with good management. In my depratment, you are on your own! No support from management, heavy politics, unbelievably debilitating bureocracy, arrogance is resonating throughout the entire department, ni communication and it is hard to trust people. You spend half your time CYA. You are only as good as your last recent performance. Although Bill an\d Jim have created a great vision and people strategy, it does not propogate to all departments. In my department, management uses fear as performance leverage. SAD.

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
