Pros

SAP Canada provides an excellent working environment, great perks (like free drinks and lunches) and a professional and respectful culture. Its HR and operations departments are second to none.

Cons

The technology stack that SAP as a whole uses is not in par with the best that you find in the industry. ABAP was abused beyond its intended purpose, and the systems developed at SAP are bloated and hard to work with. There's a lot of needless complexity and the developers have to solve many nasty little problems. It's hard to extend the internal frameworks and to create innovative features within their constraints.

Pros

Reasons to work at SAP include the brand name, the relative stability of working with enterprise-level software and for those who are detail-oriented and committed to quality, working with Germans is a definite plus. Also, the internal IT infrastructure at SAP is incredible.

Cons

The main downside is being tied to the ABAP development language which doesn't see any use outside of SAP applications. At the same time, this means there are opportunities to consult for companies that run SAP's software.
