Pros

SAP has a very good work-life balance ratio. Managers are well trained to manage their subordinates. There is very good flexible work policy and lot of exposure high quality design, architecture and Product Management

Cons

I worked in SAP for 20 years. However in the recent years, there is a huge degradation in the quality - It has become more of a talk than actual work. Lot of marketing has got in. More employees of SAP have started taking the management route, so product expertise has started dwindling. Especially in the last 2 years, lot of experienced and knowledgable people left SAP (either voluntarily or early retirement). Lot of this knowledge is lost and not properly handed over. Younger people are not properly groomed. SAP Technologies are not used much, so once you get in, you cant get out. It is very sad to see the company degradation for me. This was not the SAP I joined.

Pros

They didn't lay people off during COVID, decent pay and benefits. Remote option more than 40 miles from an office.

Cons

They ask for your input but punish if it doesn't match their vision. After 2022, management trend is to "throw employees under the bus" to cover their errors. Spiteful culture. Half-baked initiatives. Also, compliance "investigations" cover rather than resolve.
