Pros

- Good perks (free lunch, company car after 3 years, company bike leasing) - Friendly colleagues - Lots of development opportunities - Good salary. Wouldn't say spectacular

Cons

- Walldorf ... Most young people prefer to avoid it altogether, also because if the cost! - If you work in Walldorf, the cafeteria is really noisy (WDF03 at least) - Lack of transparency, bureaucracy - Working equipment is below industry standard - Growing very rapidly (hiring like crazy!!), instead of focusing on keeping current employees (lots of good colleagues left during 2017)

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
