Pros

1. Very stable company financially - unlike most startups and smaller IT companies, SAP has been profitable for decades - this translates to 'no financial pinch' for employees. 2. Highly unlikely for SAP employees to be laid off or furloughed due to Covid-19 or any other crisis. 3. Highly unlikely to be fired for non-performance or poor performance. But like any major company, they will do a major reorg every 5 years and at that time, even good performers will loose their job.

Cons

1.Risky proposition for H1B holders and Green card aspirants- they will say they will process, but it will not go all the way to the end. Even SAP employees in senior roles with 10+ years in the company have had to exit USA due to visa issues. 2.Like in the case with many European companies, the important/exiting/value adding work is done in their European HQ (Germany for SAP). So, folks in USA, India etc are only given tasks that they don't really care about, as it is not important. 3.SAP has a large workforce, but leadership is lacking and is poorly managed as the ratio between leaders and 'worker-bees' is bad. For eg, if a Sr. person in leadership role is good, he/she will have 50 or more direct reports and responsibility to manage 2-3 acquired companies for that department. So, due to this overburden, he/she will not be able to perform upto his ability. In other words, 'good guys' cannot perform due to over-burden and 'bad guys' cannot perform, as don't have the skills and experience.
