Pros

As the blue-chip of the blue-chip software vendors one should endeavor to go through SAP's doors at least once in your career. Does good things for your CV.

Cons

Germany culture is not for everyone. Definitely the anti-thesis of American style culture companies. The breadth of the solution is so huge unless you have prior experience working on any of their products newbies get overwhelmed very quickly. It may take more than a year to be acquainted sufficiently to perform the role of a sales consultant to customer. That's the reason why a lot of people scrape by in SAP and don't earn the respect of the SAP folks internally. There's a lot of newbies and old folks in the company but the middle is bare!

Pros

Great software and market position. Lots of talent and experience in most senior exec ranks. Truly a global company in every way.

Cons

1. Not enough bench strength in the lower exec ranks creates highly insecure and territorial behaviours. 2. History of great engineering success is also a downside now. Too much product development comes from engineering beliefs about critical business processes today. They are out of touch and the market is moving past SAP's newest solutions.

Pros

A diversified workplace where people work and play hard. A few sections within SAP are protected enclaves which provides job security and proper work-life balance.

Cons

Changes at the management level recently have caused an overhaul and the politics have trickled down to the "masses" Also, try navigating your way through the myraid of people who are working on the same thing as you and then fight for your share of the pie. There are basically too many people to go round, too little work to do. And career hungry junior level employees need to be extremely patient, allowing yourself to age and grow old within the company before getting anywhere as the majority of the senior employees will more or less starve you of any opportunity to proceed further.
