Pros

Free lunch. That’s pretty much it

Cons

- this company runs in German nepotism by its dear leader hasso. If you are okay with executives running business units that they are completely unfit for, you belong here. It’s the lowest paying company in the Bay Area - but the work is painfully easy that you can coast to retirement here. My total compensation is double what it was at SAP after leaving,

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
