Pros

Great base salary and overall package. Very nice office close to Heathrow where you get a free lunch. Extremely strong in specific industries, if you get any of those verticals you should at least hit your number. Very loyal customer base.

Cons

I wouldn't recommend taking a sales role in the UK unless you are desperate. The company is struggling to transform itself into "The Cloud" company. Most of the deals are done in Q4 and customers know it. Management play a game where they fire people throughout the year to cover themselves during a weak quarter. If you are in a sales role, you can only take your holiday 6 months out of the year.

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
