Pros

Work life balance Nice office location

Cons

I've spent dev years chasing concur's North Star. Whenever we finally get going with the latest hotness, people have already decided to kill it off and move onto something new. Every effort to make the next environment not a snowflake and the reference for all future environments pumps out the snowflakeiest environment of all. Terrible project planning. Forced centralized tools which suck. Company now hates windows and dotNet. SAP Concur not aligned with SAP.

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
