Pros

I came over from SuccessFactors. SuccessFactors was an incredible experience. Great money, work/life balance, and you felt like you made a difference. Over the last year SuccessFactors has been completely taken over by SAP, which has killed the culture

Cons

I am in Sales at SAP. Sitting here on April 3rd 2015 our group STILL DOES NOT HAVE ITS COMPENSATION PLAN. If you are from one of the companies they acquired you will not be treated right. Internal system are awful. You will be forced to use SAP's technology for your daily job and its absolutely mind numbing that companies buy some of this technology. I was lucky to hit quota last year, but only 10% of the SF field reps made their quotas last year. SAP's slogan is "RUN SIMPLE", but if you are working here expect the exact opposite. One last thing.....Last year they told us we would not get commissions until May, which ended up being August. We literally did not get our first commission check until August. They pulled the same thing again this year. As of right now we are being told that the first commission check for 2015 biz will not come until May....my guess is they will continue to drag this out. All of this information is accurate and true....I hope this helps.

Pros

It's easy, there's never much to do, you can float in an hour late, leave early and drink tea all day. The managers won't notice one way or the other

Cons

have to find your own work. Get given out to if you can't find anything to do. Management lie through their teeth. The Irish are the whipping boy internationally and it can hit the pride a bit to deal with that. compensation is far from competitive and as for work life balance, yeah when you'r in Dublin it's good but then you get sent to the middle of a desert in the middle east for 6 months. the kicker is that your annual raise has nothing to do with your performance.

Pros

Huge customer base, that is about it.

Cons

Products are perceived in the market as old technology with bad user experience. Constant change in leadership (top and middle management); terrible culture; although they are trying to attract young talent they continue to fail to deliver on talent-development programs; rampant nepotism; lack of accountability, too many "legacy" employees with high salaries who are not bought into the idea of bringing new talent onboard and most importantly, keeping it!
