Pros

At SAP you can impact the way business is run. SAP is the market leader in business software. So your work effects many business processes Great entrepreneurial spirit: it feels like you can run your own company in the sphere of a big one. Openess between colleagues: employees treat themselves with respect. International perspective: every day work together with people from everywhere in the world. The projects span the whole globe. Career development: you get a lot of support to take your career into your own hands through Career Success Center,...

Cons

sometimes you can find a lack of information exchange between departments, a better linkage of the departments would help to share informations more effective

Pros

You can really make things happen here. Rather flat hierarchies, very globally oriented company with loads of very smart people. Senior management is very accessible and it is a very stable employer who really protects their employees. Given the international setup there are a lot of opportunities to travel, work in intercultural setups, work accross different time zones and interaction between employees is very informal. Flexible work time agreements, generous vacation packages even in the US, possibilities to explore different carreer pathes. It is the leader in business applications and tends to make the right decisions.

Cons

Once you joined in a position and most importantly salary range, it is significantly tougher to make salary jumps as opposed when you join externally. Guess this is the flip side of the coin, where hierarchies are rather flat so there is limited opportunities for growth in the classical management carreer path, even though SAP offers expert carreer pathes and project management carreer pathes to compensate for this. Outside recognition of those titles though is awkward for interaction with customers. It is a very much consensus driven company which at times hinders fast paced innovation, creating internal competition rather than the best possible synergetic approaches

Pros

Extremely bright people who are doing work that actually impacts the businesses who buy our software. Culture appreciates knowledge, integrity, and hard work. Nice to work for a software company that doesn't want to "hit it big with the next whizbang idea"....but rather wants to improve how business get us the products and services we need.

Cons

Many of the German employees view the American employees as "a step lower." Not incredibly so, but noticeable at times.
