Pros

-- good pay and bonuses

Cons

-- Poor reputation: Company's brand perception is extremely negative in the SF Bay Area -- Corrupt culture: employee advances are handed out based on who you know, not what you know -- Reorgs: With 2+ re-orgs per year you career can quickly stall and you can be trapped in a bad group -- Uneducated Managers: Managers are untrained and often under-educated. -- Fake Job titles: Virtually everyone holds a business title of Director or VP. In reality very few people hold these titles as per the Corporate HR system. -- 1980's Technology: With its own HTTP layer and ABAP custom language built in the 80s, SAP technology is crap and often ridiculed by the tech leaders in the SF Bay Area -- Working from Home: Often abused many VPs and Directors, who are missing in action and working on personal projects instead.

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
