Pros

-Some really great, genuine people, I've met some great people I will call friends for life -Great earning potential -Great benefits

Cons

-You must 'fit'- now when I say that I mean that you must have the face and the 'look' of the rest of the sales team meaning if you are even slightly different you will probably feel very out of place and won't last very long. If you have seen our sales floor, you know exactly what I mean. -Questionable diversity...SAP Concur advertise and continuously talk about their 'Diversity' and great 'Culture' (A LOT) however it's actually pretty incredible how UNdiverse and UNcultured the SMN team actually are. -MDR managers are failing their team- I will leave this one here. -They will always ask for feedback and you will provide it however nothing further will be done because things 'work'. -Remember that you are just a number and they will expect you to work tirelessly to get there, fine it's sales. However even when you get there, they probably won't care if you don't 'fit' the team. -I don't regret working here however I do regret not leaving sooner than I did and giving them the opportunity to cause further stresses. It's probably a good time to note that my numbers were GREAT in fact I was one of the highest performers. If you are someone that is genuine, isn't sneaky and doesn't like a gossip then this place is definitely not for you. However if you do, you'll fit in just fine.

Pros

1. $$$ Very competitive salary/comp structure for an entry-level sales role. Plenty of opportunity to make great money at this position. 2.) Company culture (best part of the job) This team is full of fun and smart people that you’ll actually enjoy working with. You’ll build friendships and make connections that will last for years. 3.) Professional and personal development Sales, marketing, operations - whatever area you’d like to learn or develop skills, this team and position will provide you with the opportunity to do so.

Cons

1. High Expectations Expectations to perform and hit quotas are expected with such a competitive salary/comp structure. Shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to anyone interested in a sales role. 2. Change Systems, processes, and personnel change often but that’s expected considering the nature of working at a tech company. Getting into a rhythm will take extra effort but overcoming obstacles in this role will prove to be extremely valuable experience that you will carry with you throughout the rest of your career.

Pros

There is incredible upward mobility for those who put their head down, work hard, and don't expect anything to be handed to them. As in many performance-based organizations, many of the negative reviews about unattainable goals or leadership holding employees back, are by low/average performers who expect praise and promotions to be handed to them. I have experienced firsthand how quickly you can move through the ranks if going above and beyond goal is an expectation for oneself. Personally, I would encourage anyone who wants to get their foot in the door at a great company to start in Market Development as it has provided an amazing foundation for future successes in sales roles. Effort is directly correlated to success in this role, so if you come in ready to work hard and earn good money while doing it, this is a fantastic role for you. Both directors and managers are ultra-transparent about expectations and run the department as a true meritocracy. Market Development leadership did a great job broadcasting the performance of high performers to leaders of other departments as to help with promotions.

Cons

There seems to be a culture shift now that we are a part of SAP, as expected.
