Pros

Good executive management that cares about the employees. Management is transparent to its employees. There are a bunch of people in the company who want to take on challenges & want to make a difference in the industry. The CTO of the company is a good leader with qualities needed to make SAP competitive.

Cons

Even though SAP has a great deal of positive energy, there are many people in the company who take advantage of it. Layers of mid-level management which do nothing but talk. I have seen many of them who have been here for years and do a lot of talking but deliver nothing useful to customers. CTO & leadership have a vision and SAP needs to cut all the layers of fat & create flat hierarchy of engineers to deliver the vision.

Pros

* Very nice, friendly, and generally unpretentious colleagues * A refreshing change from tech (especially Silicon Valley) arrogance * Very nice campus, cafeteria, benefits and more * Lots of telecommuting options, depending on your manager and function * Some very smart people who are generally nice and approachable (see above) * Some incredibly innovative technology, and the financial resources to support it (in theory)

Cons

* With few exceptions, you'll easily drown in endless processes * You'll inevitably encounter processes that are required before you can begin the processes * Remarkable redundancy across organizations and geographies * No shortage of politics at the executive level, which is likely to have an impact, whatever your level * A frightening number of executive decisions are made whimsically, especially before SAP events. Whatever the merits, the end result is that aforementioned processes must follow like dominoes. * The end result of all the above? Processes and politics far trump technology * Depending on the organization and function, nepotism can absolutely reign supreme
