Pros

Offers great benefits that match most companies in Silicon Valley and lunch is free! Management supports newcomers very well and make them feel appreciated. Executive is very fun to listen to and some personalities are relatable, especially after reading Bill McDermott's book. Compensation is generally above average. The company is very fast paced at least in the SV location so you get to learn a lot. Company parties are very well planned also.

Cons

Not much stock options or opportunities for large bonuses for newcomers. The 401k plan could be better. Campus in SV is huge so hiking across buildings during hot days is rough, but they do offer a shuttle. Gym isn't that nice.

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
