Pros

- pretty flexible work schedule. Lots of people are usually not in the office - work-life balance. You can work from home with various (or strange) reasons - definitely a place for retirement life - pay is alright

Cons

- oftentimes it feels like “work” is not a priority to most of the people here - in general it’s really rare to find anyone that is truly experienced and has the skillsets reflecting on their years of experiences. You might find somebody’s got 6+ years of experiences and he only has an intern-level skillset. #truestory - poor communication - slow - not a competitive pay - as a result: lack growth, personally and professionally

Pros

SAP is big, and will stick around. Much depends on the manager: does she / he take care of the team members, or strictly manage up for own career goals. I have experienced both, and if you are lucky, this will be a great company to work for. The company's willingness to move to cloud is there, with considerable investment to implement change: which is amazing to observe and be part of. In general, the US offices are good facilities to work, working from home is mostly not an issue.

Cons

SAP is big, and moves slow. Change is managed by huge teams, with an emphasis on 'manage', not getting it done. At least in the US, SAP embraces the hire/fire mentality: if a team becomes obsolete in the eye of a VP, there's no support for individual team members to find alternative positions within the company: no matter how experienced, talented and skilled these people are, how long they have been with the company. No sanity check by HR. As a result, loyalty is heavily affected, especially among the younger generations.

Pros

Competitive compensation Good work life balance, no one works that hard here

Cons

Terrible leadership, especially in marketing Lots of top down decision making, everyone else is just a pawn Constant re-orgs based on internal politics Old systems and ways of working Too large of a company, half the people don't do anything value add Old style of marketing & lots of people in charge who lack talent & just play games constantly to increase their visibility Serious lack of diversity at the top Poor benefits. Only 12 weeks of maternity leave partially paid, okay healthcare but not great, no free food or snacks, very stingy on holidays. Stodgy brand and products that aren't #1 in the market and there is no plan or true innovation to get there
