Pros

Compensation is above average. There are many career opportunities and bonuses are usually paid at near 90% to 100%

Cons

+NO work life balance +SuccessFactors has poor leadership and management with no very clear direction on how to achieve goals +Lots of finger pointing +very little reward for all of the hours and sacrifice you are required to give. It's a workaholic culture with very emotional people. +more about conforming to SAP policy than what really makes a cloud computing company tick +colleagues are pretty demotivated and seems not invested in this companies long term success

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
