Pros

Used-to-be-free lunch. Nowadays, the $4.25 subsidy covers about thwo-thirds of a higher-priced lunch. Nice facilities.

Cons

Everything else but the $4.25. Life at SAP is a bizarre maze of things that often focused more on not getting things done than working towards shared company objectives - all while using the most user unfriendly sofrware you will find. Career advancement and compensation is like an auto race with crashes, weather delays and danger to people near the track. Managers ... ha!

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
