Pros

I genuinely can't think of anything

Cons

- Stagnant management that have been there for too long and won't leave - You'll get either zero work or you'll be bombarded. - Some middle management characters with a weird power complex. - Pretty much the blind leading the blind - Zero training but marketed as a consultant so customers get angry at you when you don't know what you're doing. - Sink or swim mentality is used to weed out people. - Way below industry standard pay, and I had no pay rise in 3 years I was there. - ZERO PROGRESSION, constant hoops to jump through. - Staying in this role long enough will ruin your career.

Pros

Job is easy. The bar is very low. Most of the roadmap is dominated by what SAP deems important or engineering tech debt. You can't actually do the job of a PM here in this environment.

Cons

There is so much tech debt and random engineering sprawl that the room to solve for real customer needs or business strategy is next to nothing. SAP empire has fully squashed the old Concur republic. Turn over is exceedingly high. SAP only optimizes for SAP and its uber sized customers. Concur's customer set (mostly not on SAP) are left out to dry. Heavy focus by most management at Concur at surviving until the next bonus/stock round vests - its musical chairs. If you want to really just get tossed around in a washing machine and really not do all that much, this is the place for you.

Pros

The work-life balance is awesome, everyone goes home at 4pm without a question asked, it is managers' headache to deal with projects later. But usually they are covered by overestimate and by relaxed deadlines in general, so nothing to be worried about. If you don't feel like doing much you can chill out for years without being fired. Work from home was a thing even prior to pandemic, and it usually meant people won't be reachable during this time. Unlimited sick leaves is also great. This company is great for interns which they are actively hiring to work on projects for free, but also for seniors at the end of their careers. But if you are a young professional in the middle of your career you'd be better off elsewhere.

Cons

Hypocrisy is part of the company culture, management won't act up to what they are preaching. Total politics and cover-my-a approach on all levels. Friends and family are being hired as a normal practice. Technology oftentimes is not making up to competition, and I am not talking about ABAP here. But even with so called next-gen platforms SAP is already lagging behind, and every solution has tons of ugly legacy systems to integrate with
