      The Demise of a once-quality company.

      Pros

      Back in the day, SAP was a great place to work. The benefits were good and quality of people excellent.

      Cons

      Over the years, many quality people left and were replaced with incompetents who were more interested in advancing their careers than in the success of the company.

      Be careful what role you take and how you will really be allowed to contribute.

      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.

      If your idea survives the internal competition, it will likely be a winner in the external market

      Pros

      - SAP has a huge impact on how companies, large and small, run their business. Assuming you can convince SAP to bring some concept to market, you will change the work lives of a great many people. For those motivated by having an impact, there are few places where you could have more leverage. - SAP really values doing things right. Employees are proud of the company's reputation for "German quality engineering". Management actually pays attention to arguments based on architectural principles. Values are placed ahead of short-term financial gain (usually). - SAP appreciates that people have lives outside of work. - SAP is prepared to re-invent itself, even while growing and being profitable. Any company can re-invent itself when headed downwards, but SAP is willing to re-invent itself on the up-slope.

      Cons

      - SAP is a very big company -- over 50,000 employees -- and inefficiencies abound. Compared to the experience of working at a smaller company, at SAP there are plenty of resources to bring to bear on problems that need to be solved. But unfortunately many of those resources are currently aimed at problems that don't need to be solved. - It is hard to navigate through SAP. Knowing who to contact requires tapping into the tribal sources of knowledge. - SAP can be extremely political. The most important tool at SAP is your personal network. Being able to line up support can be critical to accomplishing an objective.
