Pros

There are still great leader at SAP that make your time truly valuable. The base pay is great and if you get lucky, you could make great money. Especially with the deal sizes of SAP. Very rare to encounter in the software industry. The company also invests heavily in its people. The culture is built around becoming the best version of yourself. You truly walk out of SAP with world class skills. Especially in sales.

Cons

Quotas are extremely hard to achieve, and the comp plan is often tied to metrics that aren’t fully in your control — like churn. For example, if your quota is $1M and you inherit an account that churns $1M, with only a $200K churn allowance, you’d need to sell $1.8M just to get to 100%. And honestly, there’s no real work-life balance in this job. The hours are long, weekends are common, and it feels like there’s less and less life balance at this company.

Pros

The people at SAP are very friendly and collegial. First line management has been supportive (even though they don't generally have the power to change or improve anything).

Cons

SAP could execute better if it would breed and manage a culture of accountability, instead of people not doing their jobs properly with no repercussions. So many things seem to require an "escalation" to get anything done. SAP needs to get much better at product support, since poor product support is common and dramatically impacts customer satisfaction. SAP used to have a strong industry strategy, and customers used to buy because of it. But they have let this strength atrophy and the customers see it and are disappointed. SAP used to value high levels of skill and experience and customers knew that this was a strength of our company. Now, the perception is that SAP values "low cost" resources more, which don't come with the skill and experience to be able to effectively sell, implement and support our complex solution portfolio. SAP needs to get much better at offering career paths to high performing employees. Nowadays, one has to leave SAP in order to progress in a career path. The systems and tools that SAP provides to employees to get their jobs done have become atrocious and low quality. This severely limits employee productivity. Operational management of SAP business process has become very poor. They need to have management that is accountable for managing process effectiveness. The firing and replacement of senior leadership is constant. Makes it seem like no one knows what they are doing.
