Pros

Many perks (free food, good coffee, dry cleaners) and flexible hours (work form home is very common). Salaries are over the industry average.

Cons

Lack of mentorship. One needs to figure it out the way to navigate the bureaucracy. There is no clear career path.

Pros

Having SAP on your resume and getting your hands on the latest products.

Cons

Contrary to the prior review by a Director, SAP in having massive layoffs in North America this week March 09/2009. SAP is a sales organization not a consulting organization. This place corrupted when it comes to billing practices and it resembles a ponzi scheme by which the grunt Consultants make money for their managers and so on.

Pros

Conservative, intelligent, responsible, and straight-talking senior management at HQ in Germany; many options for career movement in technical and non-technical roles; not a lot of dead wood - engineers are smart.

Cons

Lots of red tape trying to do simple things like ordering a docking station for a laptop - can take MONTHS! Some real jerks in middle management from acquisitions. User interfaces of SAP software are unbelievably bad - can't take much pride in them and there's lots of frustration when using the stuff yourself. Underlying architecture stable but arcane - you will likely find yourself porting your 21st century code to something akin to Windows 3.1 after encountering the laughable attitude that "if you follow good engineering hygiene you should have no problem adhering to the requirements."
