I have been working at SAP full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Very solid and very stable company that will not go away any time soon. Good work/life balance (even though employees often disagree because they are spoilt rotten). Good pay.

Cons – Limited number senior leadership positions in development in the U.S. If you are in consulting, sales, product management, marketing or any other non-technical field, you'll do just fine. But if you are looking for a hands-on development leadership role that will give you exposure to great technologies that will enhance your market value, you'll be disappointed. The development organization is basically run out of Germany.

Advice to Senior Management – Drink a little less of your own Kool-Aid.

I have been working at SAP full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Great product line. Outstanding installed base of world-class companies across many industries. Politics are minimal (at least in the field organization) and there are few barriers to internal transfers. Field sales/service organizations have a strong "virtual" culture, and many SAP employees live in cities where there is no local SAP office.

Cons – Few opportunities for candidates without prior SAP experience. Recent turnover in executive leadership in North America is a concern. Little commitment to success of the consulting organization; at a fundamental level, SAP doesn't "get" professional services the way a Deloitte or Accenture gets it. Consulting business is not growing, and management opportunities are limited. Complexity of product line can be mind-numbing, even for current employees.

Advice to Senior Management – Define and execute a strategy for ensuring your Consulting business is focused on making customers successful, not just being a revenue source.

Cons – Sometimes dysfunctional. Redundent departments. Management doesn't talk to employees enough.

Advice to Senior Management – Get input before you make your decisions.
