Pros

Quite good work-life balance, benefits are good.

Cons

Way too much politics. Knowledge and expertise alone do not matter if you don't have good connections. Often low quality software is produced at cheap locations, and this is sold to the higher management as "efficiency". Skilled people leave the company once they realise there is no way to add anything of value. Everybody else seems to stay here forever.

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
