Pros

Nice offices and free soda.

Cons

So much change happening here, that it's slows the pace of operations... But not because things are getting done... because of the enormous amount of technical and organizational debt. Things move glacially slow here in comparison to other companies in the greater Seattle area. Other business groups seem to want to drag their feet for others, so that it takes forever to get anything done... like they are afraid. Sadly, they promote people to people management roles that aren't fit for the position. It's clear that people are not vetted as people managers, or are not given proper training and monitored. Poor behavior here not only goes unchecked, but it's buried organizationally, HR is not much help. It's also impossible to move around the company, there is no support for those wanting to pivot to other roles, and most managers offer none or absolutely bare-bones career growth guidance through the SAP Talk system, which pays you only in lip service. I don't even think the company has values that are culturally circulated. The fact that I don't know these should concern you.

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
