Pros

Great products and brand recognition.

Cons

If you are an experienced consulting sales rep and considering a job with SAP Services, I give you this advice: SAP Services is quickly turning into a SUPPORT group. It's capabilities, service offerings and resources have been decimated to the point where you will just sell SUPPORT services. (Ask about "One Service" or about the number of consultants employed year over year during your interview and listen carefully to the answer.) Despite what they tell you, the job is NOT a true Sales role. You'll mostly be a flunky of the license reps who will favor external partners. Your management will be powerless to support you, but will hold you accountable for their failed strategies. Most of them have never been front line sales people. Many of them are buddies from past jobs at other companies. Key to Success: If you you are a shameless self-promoting sycophant, you'll do well here. Your main sale will be to promote yourself to clueless management who assign accounts based on how much you kiss up to them. ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOU. Last year (2014) approx 10% of the Services reps made their quotas. Good Luck!

Pros

I really liked my role at SAP. After being a cloud Customer Success Manager supporting strategic clients for several years, I moved into a group doing digital customer outreach including producing newsletters, release enablement, webcasts, documentation, event registrations, etc. Salary and bonuses were good, no complaints there.

Cons

No real cons for the job that I was in, except that our group was eliminated by the corporate restructuring and reduction in workforce in North America in 2025. I would have loved to stay but unfortunately we probably showed up on a restructuring spreadsheet somewhere and it was determined that our services were no longer needed. We off-boarded most of our work to other existing employees (who already had full time jobs), which felt unfair to them, but that is how it shook out.
