Pros

Job security guaranteed, even if you will be laid off - significant compensation would be offered as well as opportunities to be integrated into other projects. Management are friendly, HR trying to be creative about improvement of working conditions, initiatives are welcome.

Cons

A lot of program management bureaucracies, most of profits are still generated by main business e.g. legacy R3 systems. As result of blind obligations to backward compatibilities, any serious reform of main software is failing, competitive power falling off last decade. Agile on a paper was implemented but as result, amount of bureaucrats increased instead of intended decrease.

Thank you for your review. We encourage everyone at SAP to ask questions. If you believe there’s room for improvement and too much bureaucracy in the way, think about how that can be improved. At SAP, our leaders let our employees make decisions. We believe it is the secret to a fast career progression and minimizing cogs in the wheel. So while we are sorry to hear of this case, we encourage you to take it upon yourself to break it

Pros

Good work life balance over time, culture of help, good opportunities to advance and move around, decent pay, ceiling for commissions is high.

Cons

Are increasingly finding ways to dock compensation and make rules around comp confusing and unclear. Internal processes, tools, and policies are incredibly complex. Very difficult to find people to support basic customer issues. Sales becomes a catchall for customer problems, leaves little time to sell. Benefits and pay increases decline year after year.
