Pros

SAP has always been one of the better tech giants to work for. They are well managed, consistently ranked one on the Top 100 Best places to Work (here in North America), have lot's of great talent and very professional caliber people there. They offer all types of roles, no matter what you do. I have nothing but good things to say about them.

Cons

I was recently hit with a reorganization and lost my job. SAP, up until 2014, had a strong history of no layoffs, due to it's Co-CEO arrangement with Bill McDermott (US) and Jim Hagemann Snabe (Germany). However, McDermott took over as the sole CEO in 2014, and that's when the cuts and reorganizations started. It has heavily affected offices in Israel, North American and other locations. SAP is putting an "all-in" strategy into HANA and SAP Cloud, so it's beefing up those areas, while placing less focus (and investment) into other areas of the business (like Middleware tools, for example), so folks on those sides of the business are feeling the heat.

Pros

- great pay and benefits - exciting vision for the future of technology - rewarded for contribution as well as potential for contribution - good training offerings for SAP certifications as well as education allowance - laid back culture of autonomy and self scheduling -- just get things done and add value

Cons

- work-life balance can be tough, especially in global roles where you have interact with time zones - even though company is growing, it is still cutting back in certain areas -- if you don't get cut, you typically have to pick up the slack which can feel unmanageable at times
