Pros

Casual and for the most part informal culture There was an OK work/life balance Snacks/games/distractions available Weekly happy hours Young and vibrant co-workers Time off is generous both vacation as well as maternity/paternity (SAP benefit)

Cons

Criteria for worker evaluation is not clearly defined. Transparency from management level is almost non-existent Not a great place for minorities (especially at the Management level). This does not apply to SAP as a whole who has a great track record for diversity. Favoritism and "it's who you know" system definitely rules the office. (you will have to actively seek out opportunities in order to "shine". By signing up you automatically start your "brand" which will follow you throughout your time here (will hamper opportunities if it's not considered excellent). People are asked to do a ton with the most minimal of resources (time, staff, etc.)

Pros

-- good pay and bonuses

Cons

-- Poor reputation: Company's brand perception is extremely negative in the SF Bay Area -- Corrupt culture: employee advances are handed out based on who you know, not what you know -- Reorgs: With 2+ re-orgs per year you career can quickly stall and you can be trapped in a bad group -- Uneducated Managers: Managers are untrained and often under-educated. -- Fake Job titles: Virtually everyone holds a business title of Director or VP. In reality very few people hold these titles as per the Corporate HR system. -- 1980's Technology: With its own HTTP layer and ABAP custom language built in the 80s, SAP technology is crap and often ridiculed by the tech leaders in the SF Bay Area -- Working from Home: Often abused many VPs and Directors, who are missing in action and working on personal projects instead.
