Pros

Lots of training available (new sales methodology every year) if you have time to take it. Solid brand recognition and looks good on the resume. Some exceptionally talented people. When they execute well the results are awesom.

Cons

Horrible comp plan, designed to drive top performers out and replace them with cheaper types. Worst CRM And Travel & Expense I have ever experienced. Stress to book deals and get paid commission in a timely manner are so bad as to deter closing business (not quite, but getting there). Way too much matrix management and German process engineering

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
