Pros

There are no pros other than my co-workers were great bunch of people to work with.

Cons

Extremely dirty office politics Management doesn't have the courage to face the employees in person so they ask the recruiting company to do their dirty job of letting us know due to budget cut, we don't have to go in tomorrow. No warning, no word, nothing.

Pros

Pretty good compensation, usually hit bonus target, subsidized lunches, nice campus. If you like job security and not a lot of stress, you can be a lifer here.

Cons

Glacial development cycles driven by Walldorf (German HQ) mean that it's difficult to make any sort of impact. SAP does not understand how to really manage innovation and how to do things quickly. Also, there is lots of dead wood here - the people that actually make things happen either become executives (in a few cases) or leave to go somewhere where it's easier to actually do something (most cases).

Pros

SAP has a competitive salary and bonus program. Paid vacation, matching 401K program and benefits package.. Their learning tools are extensive and you will definitely have to rely on those resources.

Cons

The do not hire the best person for the job. They hire friends and members of their cliques. If you don't kiss the right butt you can forget advancement. If you upset the wrong person they can make your life a living miserable and in some cases block you from leaving their department. They don't hire managers who have the skill set to empower and educate the team. When a team is scared to talk to management because they are talked to like 5 year olds it's toxic to say the least.
