Pros

Free canteen, good work ethic and culture within the workforce, some great technology and innovation.

Cons

Sales attrition rate is terrible, 50% + of sales team don't even last 6 months due to unrealistic and ridiculous targets. Old school management style based on fear and oppression, HANA take up is very slow even within the existing customer base. Endless micro management, cadence and scrutiny on a weekly basis to appease management results in zero time in front of customer. Compliance and Audits being the main show in town to make up the numbers.

Pros

It's great to work for a winner, especially a company with integrity that truly wants to "help the world run better". Opportunity for everyone, and a lot of it, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Flexibility - Work from home or office or mix, flexible hours, trusted to get the work done. Respect - Treated very well, always respected, never micromanaged, cared about. Amazing work environment - Beautiful facilities, newest equipment and technology, ability to work from anywhere and any time, always using the latest cutting-edge technology to keep you working your best.

Cons

It can take a lot (patience, persistence, creativity, time) to get set up with all the systems and authorizations needed to get the job done. Everything is very secure, they don't cut corners.

Pros

Been here almost 5 years and it's been an amazing experience overall. Good place to develop a career, not just to work. I got in at the right time and have benefitted from company growth from ~150 employees at time of hire to over 400 today (maybe close to 500). 1. In my experience the people are great, and over the course of my tenure I've always been happy with my immediate management despite several changes/promotions. I've dealt with very little micro-management, and I've always felt able to approach my manager with concerns or to ask for advice. 2. Ability to move up quickly if you display intelligence, a good work ethic, sense of personal responsibility, and make smart/strategic decisions. It's the business world - you have to be able to play the game at least a little bit. 3. Great company culture - casual office environment, higher level management is generally approachable, beer carts, and historically there have been a lot of company social events. However that culture feels endangered due to acquisition by SAP (see cons).

Cons

1. Very poor internal communication strategy. People get promoted, change departments, or get fired and you almost never hear about it from management and when you do its way too late - everyone already knows about it through the rumor mill. This is leading to a growing lack of confidence in management, especially in the face of the company being bought out. 2. Fast-paced growth and acquisition by a giant software mega-corp is changing the feel of the company overall - despite insistence from upper management to the contrary. It's not all bad - but it's different and in combination with number 1 lends itself to a sense of unease amongst employees. Tech start ups don't stay start ups forever if they are doing it right, so these changes are to be expected.
