Solid company with good intentions
Pros
-Benefits: 401k, great health insurance plans, employee stock plans -Vacation days: been here for 3 years and i have 25 vacation days which is pretty decent. -Work from Home: depends on the team, but it's very common here and most managers are very flex with this. -Opportunity for Growth: Lot's of opportunity for growth -Cool events: They throw some cool parties if you're near an office. Holiday parties and Summer Picnics are pretty fun and they really go all out with the events. They also bring in awesome guest speakers like Jill Biden, Elizabeth Smart, Jerry Greenfield, etc. and i really look forward to these
Cons
-Training: almost all training is done online now and everyone knows the quality and effectiveness of online training... -Lack of technical training: there are soooo many different types of customer support / enablement teams and no one has really any technical or functional knowledge of the products. -Work Life Balance in Consulting: It's great that the executives preach about work life balance, but everyone knows in consulting, that doesn't necessarily exist if you're working for a large, strategic customer with unrealistic timelines -Sales vs. Professional Services: conflicting KPIs within these orgs causes lots of headbutting and undercutting. I cant tell you how many times sales people have sold/promised something that doesn't exist without talking to product and then they just dump it on the consultants after the deal is signed and they get their comp. -Products: lots of product shortcomings. It's extremely frustrating to be working on strategic accounts and implementing a product that has lots of room for improvement, but SAP has laid off product resources to hire more customer enablement people that sit around and blow smoke.
