Pros

The smartest people you'll ever work with. Good benefits, ability to be collaborative and always learn. Used to be the best company to work for.

Cons

Some of the worst upper management I've ever seen in my career. Constant mgt fight between German and US, upper management makes decisions and refuse to take input from people actually doing the work, bringing productivity to a standstill. Constant cutting corners, no budgets, endless politics make getting things done impossible. Extremely top-heavy with upper management, not lean. Company currently has no direction, just parrots buzzwords and cannot clearly communicate to employees. Extremely political. Mired in complex processes. Constant re-orgs. Does not care about employees, does not walk the walk about "people are our most valuable assets, we grow talent" - high performers laid off, with critical skills the company needs now; no real opportunity for career growth.

Pros

SAP is an Incredibly resource rich company from a cash perspective. The pay is great and the benefits are top of the line

Cons

Incredibly arrogant, Highly political, "Old Boys" network . Culture is highly corrupt and underhanded. SAP is the most corrupt company in the software business. An incredible amount of customers are in "escalation" in other words they have failed implementations on their hands. The legacy SAP products take years and millions and millions of dollars to implement - and they still don't work as described in the demos. The user interface is something out of the 1980's. If you come in from the outside and question the status quo, you are labeled a malcontent. SAP Executives are shuffled from job to job within Newtown Square as part of the "old boys club". It is a very hostile work environment for women and minorities.
