Pros

Flexible working hours, remote/home office, flat hierarchies, good equipment, interesting real tasks, for which you take personal responsibility, tasty free meals in a canteen (though you pay 3 Euro tax). The most important is that they treat working students as full time employees: you get the normal user account with the access to all internal portals, conferences, e-learning etc. Other people who work with you may not even know that you are student and treat you equally. And you can search and apply for job openings using internal portal, applications made from there have priority over external ones. So if you want to start your career here after graduation, you should definitely try to apply as a working student/thesis/praktika.

Cons

You can expect a company car only from the 3rd year and years that you worked as a working student don't count. But you can apply for an e-bike! As HR told us: we speak SAPanese here. And it's true: they have sooo much product names and abbreviations (which they love to change regularly), internal rules, portals and applications and other stuff which you should learn in your first days. All the guidance that you receive during onboarding (buddy program, mandatory seminars, wikis, jams etc) is really helpful but anyway it's very hard to get into everything.

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.
