Pros

All of the workers are very nice people. Work life balance is good. Free soda's and fruit.

Cons

Management not qualified. Must be with managers bff to stay in the circle of trust even though you are married. Say no and lose your job. "WOW". Want to break up your family. No raise in 3 years. Ask for raise! Get raise! then get terminated. Tell uper management and they do nothing about it. If you want to work here be prepaired to be PIMPED.

Pros

Great, bright, smart, fun colleagues. Fairly good salary, comparable to industry.

Cons

I worked at this company from 1994 through to 2009, the core software has not changed since R3 days, they have bought the newer technology and kind of tried to bundle it together. I would not look at this company as being leading edge in the software field. Most companies have spent so much money implementing that they can't get rid of this behemoth until fully depreciated. Highlight of my career at SAP is when they put together an agenda for a user conference and the agenda said the men attended the talks and the women were to go for aromatherapy messages, I kept that agenda and still have it posted in my office to remind me of where I have come from and that you need to kiss a few frogs along the way. That kind of summarizes the female careers at SAP. Looking at the board today I see nothing has changed: 9 men, 0 women; 8 Caucasians 1 Indian; 5 Germans, 3 American and 1 South African (this has really changed since my day when it was 8 Germans and I American). So if you are a female serious about your career this is not the company for you. If you are happy to sit in middle management and stay away from the sales men then plod your way through the various acceptable positions for females, the glass ceiling here is low and thick. There is a strange corporate culture and a lack of diversity. For my sins I now have to engage with the sales men of SAP and I burst out laughing when they end a meeting with the wonderful line of ‘So can you sign today?” – such a cliché.
