Pros

The company culture is great, no hierarchical thinking in dev orgs A lot of new stuff happening Work-life balance is great

Cons

Company overall could be less sales-oriented and more product-oriented. Common lack of skill set and technical expertise, even in the innovation areas. A lot of lateral transfers to positions that don't fit their skill set (They also call SQL developers backend developers and surprisingly get away with it)

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
