Pros

Good benefits and smart coworkers

Cons

Internal politics appear everywhere Inconsistencies on plans and "flavor of the month" focus on projects. You will get tasked with something you have no qualifications for, and you will be expected to work beyond normal work hours. Career opportunities often get blocked internally because internal job applications are required to go through your manager.

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
