ProsSalary, benefits. I have to manage my own time and activities. As a consultant, I work with a wide range of people on a temporary basis.

Current Employee – been working at SAP

Proscompany has a fairly flat hierarchy where each position allows you to get exposure of many roles. In that sense, company is unusual compared to traditional US corporate culture.

In the past 5 years, company has become very customer focus. For highly motivated employees, this is the place with upward mobility.

ConsCompany highly compensate top performers and as a result, work life balance is often the most talked about challenge for the workforce.

– I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Palo Alto, CA

Current Employee – been working at SAP full-time for more than 3 years

ProsExcellent culture, very collaborative. Smart people with solid credentials, but without some of the attitude /chip on the shoulder you see at some Valley companies. Allows flexibility to move around within the company, whether across functions or geographies. Cash compensation is among best in the valley with a good chance for work-life balance.

ConsSometimes not innovative enough. Old-school management styles and development approaches slow down company progress. Distances with virtual colleagues and the need for remote collaboration makes work a bit more challenging.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
