Pros

compensation and stock options were plentiful back then, but I paid a price

Cons

Working in the SAP group involved 12 hour days as well as working weekends and holidays when upgrades were implemented. Nature of the beast I suppose

Pros

Good benefits, and schedule can be flexible at times. Get to work on developing new technologies for customers around the world. Ability to travel.

Cons

Work-life balance is non existent at most time. Long hours due to management making commitments that cannot be met. Very low retention rate in some divisions due to management.
