Pros

Not much work, decent pay and very flexible work from options.

Cons

Cons? Everything else. The company is ideally suited for lifers who have no intention of doing anything innovative and simply collect a paycheck. Very German centric (naturally) and for people used to American companies, this place sucks to work at. Too much process, too little innovation except meaninglessly acquiring companies which are not very well integrated together. Usually the founders of those companies end up leaving when they realize this is a 1970s company. Product portfolio is far too complex, sales force can't figure out how to sell it and US sales reps are leaving in droves. Zero brand recognition in the US. While pay and benefits are decent, no stock awards. There is no skin in the game for the average employee.

Pros

The only reason to go to Software AG is because you don't have another offer. Few would call it a career choice and the most common conversation among employees is about how broken the company culture is.

Cons

Turnover in Software AG Sales is 70% or more annually over 2-3 year periods (people leave in batches). At the Regional VP level it is 100% annually across the team. The comp plan, the sales strategy change each year and senior management live by dishonesty and lack of delivery. Industry competition and customers say, "Software AG is legacy software". That's a bad way to start a relationship. The products are 3 years behind the market as customers move to the Cloud and the company can't compete. Management will be hostile to you as you try to sell, but don't make your number. There is a 75% chance that you will leave within 2 years. One simple question: Why would you go work there?
