Pros

SAP still has good company values and there are a lot of benefits. Most teams offer flexible working times. Taking responsibility in your family is valued and accepted at SAP.

Cons

The chances to get promoted are very little and highly depend on luck and not so much on your personal performance. For example, a Junior Developer in a team of Seniors can make a good career, because the Seniors generate a lot of promotion budget, making it easy to promote the junior. The same person in another team might not be promoted although performing the same. Chances to move beyond senior level are very little and within the senior level the salary raises have been minimal. Overall, the compensation is far too low compared to the market. Recent decisions of the higher management also caused a loss of trust and I feel that there is a new culture of doing the bare minimum, because there is no reward for going above and beyond.

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
