Pros

I've loved SAP for the last 15 years. They typically do a great job with DEI, purpose, health and wellness, etc.

Cons

The SAP Executive Board betrayed its 100,000+ employees on January 9th, 2024, at 12:02 Pacific Time. We received a notification that employees must work in the office three days per week even though we have been a remote culture for at least 15 years. Most employees at SAP joined, at least in part, because we had a remote culture. For many years, our LOBs actively supported remote work. We've never discriminated against WFH employees. We had a remote work culture before COVID, and it was critical to the ease with which we navigated the pandemic. Nobody expected the executive board to betray our culture and people like this. Realistically, I suspect this is all an attempt for SAP to avoid laying people off two years in a row. If they institute a 3-day-in-office policy, they darn well know that a significant percentage of its population will quit. What a shame. I'll probably be amongst them if this policy goes into effect for real in May. Workday and Oracle Recruiters, get ready! You'll have your pick of the litter as soon as this policy goes into effect. Many of us will probably jump sooner. SAP, prepare for the brain drain. What a shame. I loved this company.

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
