Pros

You can meet many interesting and highly qualified software engineers in the company. There are also quite interesting and challenging tasks. The company provides various possibilities to learn.

Cons

The weakest side of the company is its management. Frequently these are incompetent people who make social experiments by bringing chaos into regular development processes. This results in not only buggy software but also demotivates developers. It is the primary factor why SAP cannot be viewed as a good place for software engineers.

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
