Pros

The work-life balance is awesome, everyone goes home at 4pm without a question asked, it is managers' headache to deal with projects later. But usually they are covered by overestimate and by relaxed deadlines in general, so nothing to be worried about. If you don't feel like doing much you can chill out for years without being fired. Work from home was a thing even prior to pandemic, and it usually meant people won't be reachable during this time. Unlimited sick leaves is also great. This company is great for interns which they are actively hiring to work on projects for free, but also for seniors at the end of their careers. But if you are a young professional in the middle of your career you'd be better off elsewhere.

Cons

Hypocrisy is part of the company culture, management won't act up to what they are preaching. Total politics and cover-my-a approach on all levels. Friends and family are being hired as a normal practice. Technology oftentimes is not making up to competition, and I am not talking about ABAP here. But even with so called next-gen platforms SAP is already lagging behind, and every solution has tons of ugly legacy systems to integrate with

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
