Pros

SAG is a growing company well recognized on the ESB and BPM market. This growing could be reflected in new carrier opportunities. The company is perfectly managed from financial perspective which guarantees a long term stability. Challenges are common in this company and the teams are quite unique though most of the people are not fully satisfied with the current top management direction.

Cons

SAG is a big company and therefore is very cost focused. Do not expect to have an easy life. Too many procedures and too many constrains do not help your business and carrier developing. To reach high level positions is not that easy even when you have shown your value. Recognitions could arrive in term of job titles but this is not always reflected in extras on your package. The company is not facilitating the knowledge sharing because too hierarchical and old fashion set up. There are not well defined carrier paths in place and the company does not invest in external high level training though SAG provides several internal trainings.

Pros

pays pretty well. no micromanagement. Can't think of that many. People are nice.

Cons

technology laggard, very cautious, IT is draconian (no IM, no personal software, no iTunes, lousy network), clueless management in Germany. Very distributed offices which makes communication very difficult. Clear trend to to move all development overseas where it's cheap. Very cost driven, not productivity driven. It's mainframe roots clearly show.
