Pros

Mature and stable company provides good benefits. SAP supports community involvement and does matching to charitable giving. Hana in memory DB has a potential of making SAP the dominate force in the future.

Cons

If working in an acquired office, adjustment to the SAP culture can be awkward. SAP is in transition between legacy and future technologies. It is a huge company and can be a frustrating experience if project or team does not fit the standard corporate profile.

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
