Pros

SAP was a good place to work in terms of the workplace environment. Many perks, like a gym, cafeteria, and a nice campus. They treated employees relatively well. Good salary and benefits, especially compared to others my age. Good philanthropic efforts.

Cons

Constant and annoying reorganization. Promoting from within, and unfair/biased treatment towards those who are very attractive and (usually) female. Some upper management and VP's have such an over-inflated ego, and nothing seems to be done about it when it is painfully obvious to so many people. There is definitely an upper echelon of management here who are in effect an "inside ring" of some corruption and although they try to pride themselves on transparency the truth is that they are anything but. Also an extreme amount of outsourcing/contracting to India, which makes it much more difficult to work productively on a local team.

Pros

- Benefits are generous - Compensation for a non-direct sales role is good - Many smart and capable people - Community outreach and volunteerism - Industry leader and broad portfolio to pitch

Cons

- Adding layers upon layers of complexity and personnel, overlapping sales teams - Poor direction related to sales coverage, meaning confusing face presented to customer - Management often focuses on activity rather than purely results - quantitative rather than qualitative - Some baffling hiring decisions, resulting in VERY inexperienced and/or external people getting management positions based upon ...? - Abuse of flexibility - some people come in and out all day then leave at 2 in the afternoon? - Career advancement can be quite difficult - lots of different groups but very hard to move from one to another (marketing to sales, sales to operations, etc)
