Pros

-Free hot lunch everyday and subsidized breakfast The food here rotates daily with various options each day. Can be delicious and not making/paying for lunch makes a huge difference to the pocket. -nice bright modern offices -casual dress -work from home (manager depending) -lovely co-workers, everyone is really nice. -onsite gym -great benefits package -flexi time: Real flexi time, not just flexi start/finish times like most companies. In SAP you just have to make sure you are in during core hours (10am-3:30pm mon-thurs & 10am-2:30pm Fri) and work your required hours around this. This is how flexi time should work! I was very lucky with my manager in SAP as she was genuinely caring and would let you follow any direction or idea you had. SAP is such a large company and heavily embedded in the industry that it won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Cons

Salary is extremely low compared to other sectors this is due to the MD wanting Ireland to be seen as a low-cost center to impress Head Office which has brought morale down significantly in the company. A lot of reorgs happen too often before they are properly thought out by upper management leaving employees in the dark and uncertain of their positions. Organisation structure is very confusing and ever changing. The company encourage employees to look at internal opportunities to move team however the interview process for internal hires is poorly run. Hiring managers not reading CVs no time to prepare for interviews. Managers & team leaders in the development teams lack people skills.

Pros

Upper management continues to invest on programs to improve employee engagements.

Cons

There is budget available to the improve working environment, but some of the decision makers spending them to please a small group of people. When you happen to be outside of this selective group of people, you feel isolated and unfairly treated. Reporting to HR has yield nothing but fruitless discussions with no actionable items.
