Pros

Relatively stable employer. There haven't been many layoffs through its history and even in the case of layoff, people are usually well compensated (e.g. 6 monthly salaries). If you have the chance to work with customers, there could be some interesting projects due to the big size of the company and the diverse customer base. Work life balance if reasonable (e.g. 30 days paid vacation, home office, gym at the office). People in the office are generally nice as well.

Cons

Salary growth plans can be conservative and often favor newcomers and job hoppers. Some projects can be really boring and a bad move for one's career in the long run. Implementation of SCRUM was not and still isn't good. It feels too much like Ford's assembly line and not so much like a creative process. Canteen in Sofia is average, but for people not generally concerned about healthy diet, it seems acceptable.

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
