      Pros

      Pretty good compensation, usually hit bonus target, subsidized lunches, nice campus. If you like job security and not a lot of stress, you can be a lifer here.

      Cons

      Glacial development cycles driven by Walldorf (German HQ) mean that it's difficult to make any sort of impact. SAP does not understand how to really manage innovation and how to do things quickly. Also, there is lots of dead wood here - the people that actually make things happen either become executives (in a few cases) or leave to go somewhere where it's easier to actually do something (most cases).

      For this company is the seniority more important than the skills and talents

      Pros

      Great opportunities to get familiar with the SAP environment. Attractive benefits for the employees. Good for your CV. Good possibilities to build a social network. If you don't want to invest much time into your work and if you want to get a stable salary which wont change significantly over the next 10 years, it's perfect company for you.

      Cons

      Monetary compensation in the development is not good enough for the newcomers. It takes too much time to get it to the same level as the seniors already have.The salaries do not grow fast anymore. For doing the same job the people get paid differently. Many developers do not have the right education in the informatics, but have the "Architect" title because of the seniority. It is no matter how strong you are and how many responsibilities you take over, the manager does not have any budget to increase your salary significantly, because all the budget is distributed yearly over all the people nearby equally. If you are strong developer with good social skills, stay at SAP for a couple of years, after that look around, there are lots of companies which pay for you significantly more.

      Pros

      SAP has a competitive salary and bonus program. Paid vacation, matching 401K program and benefits package.. Their learning tools are extensive and you will definitely have to rely on those resources.

      Cons

      The do not hire the best person for the job. They hire friends and members of their cliques. If you don't kiss the right butt you can forget advancement. If you upset the wrong person they can make your life a living miserable and in some cases block you from leaving their department. They don't hire managers who have the skill set to empower and educate the team. When a team is scared to talk to management because they are talked to like 5 year olds it's toxic to say the least.
