Pros

SAP was a good place to work in terms of the workplace environment. Many perks, like a gym, cafeteria, and a nice campus. They treated employees relatively well. Good salary and benefits, especially compared to others my age. Good philanthropic efforts.

Cons

Constant and annoying reorganization. Promoting from within, and unfair/biased treatment towards those who are very attractive and (usually) female. Some upper management and VP's have such an over-inflated ego, and nothing seems to be done about it when it is painfully obvious to so many people. There is definitely an upper echelon of management here who are in effect an "inside ring" of some corruption and although they try to pride themselves on transparency the truth is that they are anything but. Also an extreme amount of outsourcing/contracting to India, which makes it much more difficult to work productively on a local team.

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
