Pros

SAP is a great growth company. The company is providing many great of opportunies to advance my career in the software industry.

Cons

The company is a very large organization and sometime hard to navigate.

Pros

I've had excellent opportunities to advance so far; co-workers are hard working and respectful. Compensation, benefits, work site and ability to travel are all contributors to a solid work environment New executive leadership seems very solid.

Cons

Some quirks due to German ownership/management. Like most tech companies there are frequent reorganizations which can be disruptive. Very sales driven which can defocus on long term needs at times.

Advice to Senior Management

Would ask that leadership continue to invest in workforce skills. Like many tech companies our work force is aging and not all have skills to keep our business competitive.

Pros

My Team and management
Flexibity adn Work/Life balance
good benefits and perks

Cons

not always quick with communication

Pros

huge commitment to work-life balance
flexible schedule
AMAZING culture
people want to help you
room to learn and grow
wouldn't ask for anything more...

Cons

I don't have too many cons. If I had to choose one it would be that because SAP is such a large company there is sometimes overlap in who does what - not the more effecient method...

We are B2B NOT B2C so no one knows who we are...

Advice to Senior Management

Keep everyone in the loop (as you seem to do). Continue to stay visible to employees.
Make a name for SAP in not only B2B but B2C

Pros

Vast opportunity to learn because of the diversity and complexity of our products for just about any industry /sector or business problem.
Multicultural environment, excellent rapport across teams.
Lateral career opportunities , relocation to a number of different countries and cities - can be awesome for someone who likes to travel.

Cons

Promotions (in Consulting) can take very long even if you have been doing very well , its just a near flat organization

Too much travel, constantly on the road.

The company sometimes seems too big and there is just too much information out there in the internal portal, It can exhaust you to look for simple things..

Advice to Senior Management

Utilization numbers matter. But they dont improve customer satisfaction. Change your reward mechanisms away from utilization only.

Pros

-> Subsidized lunch
-> Large global network of employees and you get to meet and network with people all around the world
-> Telecommuting and remotely working allows you to balance your time and life and how you want to work
-> The company is constantly changing and coming up with new ways to do things

Cons

-> Some areas are silo minded and it is hard to find resources sometimes because it is a large company

Pros

I am challenged every day. I am constantly learning and stretching my capabilities. Benefits are great.

Cons

Dark side of high expectations is high presure to excel. Lots of structure, systems, reporting.

Pros

SAP has an enormous amount of very smart & talented people, every day I learn something new.

Cons

Work life balance is tough.
