Pros

-> Your work has a lot of meaning. You're not selling ads to people. You can interact with clients in real time and get feedback and requirements that GENUINELY makes an impact on their lives and businesses. -> The challenges are unique. Unlike single product/B2C companies like Facebook or Google, you face a diverse set of challenges in a B2B setting. SAP houses teams that deal with healthcare scenarios, banking scenarios, manufacturing scenarios and so much more. The challenges at B2C companies are mostly purely technical/architectural (e.g. Spark or Hadoop for Big Data processing, ML for recommendation, etc.). At SAP, your challenges are more software *application* oriented. For instance, what data does a doctor need to know when a new patient requests and appointment? Should manufacturing time series data be shown as a line chart, or just a histogram of outliers?

Cons

-> Salary is far below competitors in the same domain (e.g. Microsoft)

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
