Pros
In general, reasonable work-life balance. Strong support for full-time remote work, even pre-pandemic. Healthy culture of honest, open communication. Positive collaboration between departments.
Cons
Diversity and inclusion, while good, has sort of gone a little too far like it drives the company. If you are a female wanting to climb the ladder you have a distinct advantage, enjoy it, they will roll out the red carpet for you. Not always nimble. Process changes were mandated frequently, but change in reality happened slowly, like turning a large ship. Often as soon as everyone finally got on board with the changes, new changes were required. Sometimes it seemed like changes were mandated simply because a new chief took the reins and felt the need to rock the boat. In 2019 shortly before the pandemic hit, SAP laid off thousands of people as part of a "global restructuring." In the United States, employees and entire teams getting the axe were told their time was up because they were not co-located. So remote work would no longer be supported? Funny how the new rule did not apply to everyone. Many suspected it was a way to eliminate older, senior, highly compensated employees. Then enter the pandemic -- "Oops, reverse that, we were just kidding, remote work is the only way!"
