Competitive pay and benefits, but some drawbacks due to being a satellite location
Pros
Great pay, benefits, and vacation (start at three weeks, get a fourth week after 3 years, and a fifth after 5 years). Stock purchase plan, commuter reimbursement, lunch at one of the offices and daily snacks at the other, social events, weekly on-site yoga classes. There's flexibility in terms of working remotely, and work life balance is prioritized. If you're just getting started in your career there are lots of intern opportunities, as well as an intern community with their own events. Diversity is embraced. The male to female ratio is off, but that's typical in tech ... however, there's the Business Women's Network that both women and men are encouraged to participate in. As for the work itself, there are teams working on a range of different products. Also, change is pretty much the norm and there's always something new to learn.
Cons
SAP's head office is in Germany, and that's where the majority of the leadership opportunities reside, at least for my line of work (user assistance development, aka technical writing). So if you're ambitious, you may find after a while that you can only go so far at SAP in Montreal.
