Pros

Nice place to learn what you should never do if you have a chance to run a company. There are tons of constantly evolving initiatives to follow the hype curves and few very experienced and skillful people mostly in Germany from whom you can learn a lot!

Cons

Half the time is lost in reorganization, strategy and turning away paying customers and chasing unicorns that do not exists. This is the same across our various units in different regions - Walldorf, Bangalore, US and Canadian offices. Unfortunately, there is so much marketing hype, its now overwhelming for engineering! There is clearly a lack of direction and I am afraid we are running of the rails. We lost skillful experts through various cost cutting measures for bad executive decisions in different waves. Unless there is some serious introspection and course correction...I don’t see our company continuing to be a force in the enterprise business space beyond 2025!

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
