Cool place to work

Pros

First, let me say that SAP divides it employees into essentially 2 groups, contractors and regular employees. All the support positions (admin, facilities) are contractors. SAP has very deep pockets and pays well, provides great benefits, and offers free lunch. The office is gorgeous and mostly serves to host meetings. SAP is very laid back about flex time and working from home, so as a result, the office is almost completely empty on Fridays and rarely gets that lively in general. I suppose it has its politics and silly corporate shenanigans, but for the most part, everyone here is very nice and calm.

Cons

Its a very quiet office, to the point that the air from the AC can be distracting. It's a German company so for the most part that means a cool, European environment, but some of the execs are a little weird. They're very rarely here though, so that has no effect. Tons of interns, a lot who don't seem to do anything, gives the office a weird hipster, high school feeling. Somewhat hilarious, considering that SAP makes software solutions, the office is so low-tech. The SAP "portal" has to be updated by lengthy email requests and is pretty useless.

Pros

Great reputation in the software world - de facto standard for ERP. Comp is competitive but not great- unless you leave and come back.

Cons

HR puts up road blocks and does not reward loyalty with higher pay or opportunities. There is some degree of empire-building with ex-Siebel and ex-Oracle etc. people coming into higher level positions and immediately promoting their brethren hired in 2 weeks later. Also some short-sightedness in my opinion on quarterly results for license sales.

Pros

SAP represents a great heritage of treating it employees well. Unfortunately that is lost. The company has a great base of application technology that can really improve a companies operations. It has the potential for a return to greatness. Did I mention the free lunch?

Cons

When SAP lost Shai Agassi, it lost its visionary. Now the company is run by arrogant and self-absorbed senior managers. The result is that employees have become a commodity. You will not be valued nor feel as though what you do (or think) matters. Do not consider having a life outside of SAP. Be prepared for being lost in a large quagmire of a company.
