      SAP is a great company for mid-career

      Mba intern

      Pros

      experience in a successfull 50,000 employees company resume check industry experience i came to SAP because it provides me a great opportunity to use my MBA skills while leveraging my technology background - and indeed in SAP you get to do that. However, SAP in its nature as a huge company is very complex and therefore you cannot really make big changes as people are used to and like to work in a very certain way. I would recommend this place as an internship.

      Cons

      slow company - very complex in terms of organization

      If your idea survives the internal competition, it will likely be a winner in the external market

      Pros

      - SAP has a huge impact on how companies, large and small, run their business. Assuming you can convince SAP to bring some concept to market, you will change the work lives of a great many people. For those motivated by having an impact, there are few places where you could have more leverage. - SAP really values doing things right. Employees are proud of the company's reputation for "German quality engineering". Management actually pays attention to arguments based on architectural principles. Values are placed ahead of short-term financial gain (usually). - SAP appreciates that people have lives outside of work. - SAP is prepared to re-invent itself, even while growing and being profitable. Any company can re-invent itself when headed downwards, but SAP is willing to re-invent itself on the up-slope.

      Cons

      - SAP is a very big company -- over 50,000 employees -- and inefficiencies abound. Compared to the experience of working at a smaller company, at SAP there are plenty of resources to bring to bear on problems that need to be solved. But unfortunately many of those resources are currently aimed at problems that don't need to be solved. - It is hard to navigate through SAP. Knowing who to contact requires tapping into the tribal sources of knowledge. - SAP can be extremely political. The most important tool at SAP is your personal network. Being able to line up support can be critical to accomplishing an objective.

      Strong globally diverse culture makes SAP a rich development ground for business people and technologists!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Culturally diverse, global, strong ethics and integrity of senior management, long-range thinking and planning, attention to detail, foundational strength of the core business. It is #1 in its market space (business applications). It has a very strong community of developers (http://sdn.sap.com) and business process experts. It has a welcoming and engaged approach to its partners. SAP participates actively with its many country-based independent customer user groups. SAP listens intently to its customers in order to serve them better with more than a profit motive in mind.

      Cons

      Really long hours due to global timezones, hard to balance work / life, sometimes the cultures clash a bit when the "go slow and do it perfectly" doesn't mix with the "go fast and be early to market" groups don't mix well. There's a German Workers Council (like unions in the U.S.) which is a hold-over from the long-ago days of craftsmen's guilds that is outdated (but required by German law) which can slow and complicate things.
