Germany Centric

Business Outlook

Pros

Software AG has smart people and interesting technology (at least in the middleware group).

Cons

Everything happens in Germany. All significant decision are made there. When it has grown through acquisition, it's still runs like a much smaller company where everything that matters is at headquarters.

Difficult to sell

Business Outlook

Pros

If you want to take some risk to earn huge sales incentives, it might be a good place to work.

Cons

There are strong competitors in SOA market such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM. It is very difficult to sell SOA products against big companies.

Great opportunities after very successful acquisition of webMethods

Manager, product management

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Software AG has completed a very successful acquisition of webMethods. Coming from webMethods, some people were sceptical and expected Software AG to swallow up webMethods. But it has truly merged webMethods into the company, making significant organisational changes along the way. Software AG has managed to retain a lot of what made webMethods special and to transfer a lot of that pride in the company to the new merged organisation. And such a large company brings with it more stability and excellent opportunities for career development.

Cons

The company now has a size where it is impossible to know everyone and everything. This is not due to any failure in the merger with webMethods, but a simple side-effect of working in a 4000-employee global organisation.
