Pros

SAP boasts a strong brand presence primarily due to its renowned ERP system, which serves as the foundational platform for many big organizations.

Cons

The sales organization relies solely on Excel, leading to significant data issues exacerbated by frequent layoffs and restructuring. Trust in the data is severely compromised. Meritocracy is non-existent; instead, nepotism flourishes within the company culture. The absence of genuine leaders has resulted in a vacuum, with only managers remaining, clinging to their Excel sheets. They oversee operations and unjustly claim credit for the innovations of the few remaining trailblazers within the company.

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
