Pros

- Industry-leading software solution - Awesome company history - Great office location - Friendly co-workers

Cons

- Executive leadership is severely disconnected from the market development day-to-day - Constant change in processes, tools, and compensation with grossly inadequate change management from that leadership team - Executive leadership is clearly motivated by increasing its sphere of influence and does not actually understand how to properly lead the larger organization (if everything is always changing, I guess it’s harder for folks outside of the organization to ask questions) - Clear favoritism displayed by those same leaders for teams in specific offices - Executive Leadership is not interested in retaining top management talent and is happy to “cut bait” if it means getting their way - It's clear that those leaders are purely interested in supporting and enhancing their own image without any regard for the backs on which they achieve their 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
