Pros

Nothing that hasn't been said before

Cons

The compensation scheme, brackets and career progression are maliciously obscure to make it difficult for individual contributors to get proper insight. Also, several instances of employees with very similar backgrounds earning figures wildly different from one another. Managers are fully aware. Recruiting WILL low ball you. The average salary suggested by glassdoor is below current mean.

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
