Pros – Big company that has many different kind of opportunities. If you don't like the group you're working in, SAP is so large that you can seek out other groups within the company. The company also has multiple locations, so you're not always stuck in Newtown Square, PA, although this is somewhat dependent on the group you're in and your position.
Cons – Work life balance is not always great.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at SAP full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – Very loyal, very large global customer base. Usually one of a few strategic vendors that the largest companies in the world rely on.
Flexible work environment. Nice people (no screamers). SAP genuinely cares about its employees and wants them to like the company.
Company is changing - very different from 5 years ago. New businesses are moving fast and highly competitive.
Cons – Org structures can be very convoluted and very global. There is some emphasis on co-location but easy to have people from Germany, India, US all on the same team. Try getting them on a con call.
Very much a technology focused go-to-market structure in a business where solutions matter more to customers.
German HQ is very detached from realities of Silicon Valley. Structural influence of the German Works Council is corrosive - limits mgmt from reacting to market trends.
Advice to Senior Management – Move to a structure of global business units aligned to market opportunities. As much as possible locate these in friendly business environments
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at SAP as an intern for less than a year
Pros – It's a large, well respected company that creates solutions for business companies, and attempts to stay at the forefront of research. Your mileage may vary in that department.
Cons – You are pretty much treated like a number. Memorize your employee number now, because that is all you are going to be asked for when dealing with other departments. All of their products need a major usability and design overhaul, and you can tell as benefits slowly disappear the direction the company is going in.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
