Pros

1. Previously, because it was easy to develop yourself by moving to a new role within the company; that is currently severely restricted. 2. They care about their employees... Let's see how they adhere to this in 2009. 3. The pay is generous given the low workload.

Cons

1. This place lives on Powerpoint to create vaporware and feel-good status reports. They rarely spend time with customers, just management consultants and their own internal beliefs. Status reports are always biased towards "green lights" as they move up the management chain. 2. Being in a staff role reporting into a group in Walldorf. It is too easy to become detached and forgotten. And all things "invented in Walldorf" are deemed better.

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."
