Pros

The compensation and benefits at the company are pretty good. There are people who work here who are amazing and make it a good place to work. There are some career opportunities because of the size of the company.

Cons

So many changes have led to poor communication and very bad decisions. The continual hiring of people outside the company rather than looking to promote people inside the company has led to a significant culture change that is negative. Those who have been hired into leadership are out of touch with those who are doing the actual work. We have a lot of managers but not a lot of real leaders. People are disgruntled and dissatisfied. There is VERY little real training outside of the Sales team. The Leadership team talks about training constantly but will not invest ANY money in training or resources.

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
