Pros

The vast majority of colleagues are skilled, highly collaborative, and strive to make the company successful. Salary and benefits are decent.

Cons

I was proud to work for SAP for a long time, but the culture in recent years has shifted to an exclusive focus on maximizing the stock price and reducing financial rewards (e.g., RSUs), with little regard for employee morale. While the US is the largest market, there have been mass layoffs here each year, focused on older workers and higher salaries. Replacement roles are at lower salary bands and are usually backfilled in India. Power and decision-making have become highly centralized in Germany, with strategy changing each year to follow the latest advice from McKinsey.

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
