      I have been working at SAP full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      flexibile work schedule; work from home; lots of career opportunities; great compensation; possibility for career longevity

      Cons

      the bad things about ANY organization are usually related to who is in charge: people are people. At SAP, bad management does move on over time, so it's just a matter of waiting it out or looking for a new opportunity within

      Pros

      Great people, good culture, lots of opportunities to learn and grow. Good salary, bonus and benefits and for then most part good flexibility.

      Cons

      Large company so need to be prepared to be patient to get ahead and comfortable with lots of processes.

      Advice to Management

      Good leaders care about their employee's goals and help them advance their career and do not hinder their advancement. People will remain steadfastly loyal to leadership that supports them and helps them leverage their talents at work.

      I have been working at SAP full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Work life balance.
      Managers listen to employees concerns or views related to team, project, and process.
      Well defined projects for the upcoming years.
      Treats employees on par with customers.
      I am proud to be an employee at SAP.

      Cons

      I don't find any cons since SAP has everything in place to fulfill employees needs. It could convert more number of interns to regular employees.

      I worked at SAP full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      The company cares about career and personal development.

      Cons

      There are a lot of bureaucracy between all the tasks and projects. The process of getting things done is not efficient.

      Advice to Management

      Empower employee and provide more support in new ideas.

      I have been working at SAP full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      I've been working here for over 18 years now and it is a fast paced dynamic environment that challenges me and allows me to push myself and grow.
      The organization is filled with intelligent and driven individuals who are an absolute joy to work with.
      The compensation and benefits package is very competitive
      There is some flexibility in the working environment with things like working hours and working remotely, etc.
      Tons of career development opportunities!

      Cons

      On the flip side of it being fast paced and dynamic, the work load can be overwhelming sometimes so keeping work life balance can be a challenge. Overall the pluses far outweight the negatives

      I have been working at SAP full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Compensation plan, long term incentives and short term incentives are top notch. The sales bag is large which gives me the opportunity to sell to almost every account assigned to me. Working with very intelligent people every day and solving complex business challenges for our clients.

      Cons

      Work life balance is hard to find here. Expectations are to be in front of clients during the day and administration at night. They will expect you to work HARD.

      Hands-off management, opportunity to travel, intelligent colleagues.

      Cons

      Complicated business network, there is a chance your team could be scattered around the world and you will have difficulty scheduling meetings.

      Pros

      Promotions from within, benefits (lunch, insurance, shares program, transportation, location of offices)

      Cons

      Culture could be better - high engagement but doesn't always feel natural

      Doesn't Recommend
      Neutral Outlook
      No opinion of CEO

      Pros

      - People are very very friendly and nice in general
      - Very chilled out environment ( Con for a young dude like me tho, I don't have kids and family to be chilled-out with, I need to pursue my dream!)
      - Pays higher than local companies in the area with 26$/hr
      - The office has amazing equipments for the employees, SAP cares for employee's health

      Cons

      - Not too Technical : It is not a company if you expect to learn a lot and try out many hot/sexy technologies. You have to follow SAP's technology stack which is very non-flexible and slow. SAP is also not mature for Cloud application development, they even have some stupid bugs that a high school student will be able to debug. I learnt nothing.
      - Laziness : Huge amount of leave requests on monthly average basis. Note, This is without working from home days and vacations. When you come to the office, some people are always chatting, drinking tea and talking about their dogs and cats. Some interns even call here "SPA" not "SAP"
      - No training, no culture shock at all : when you step into the office, no one will come and show you to get you introduced to the project, and let you know where they are at (I wonder if they know what they are doing neither). Everyone just stares at the screen, and do not want to be helpful unless you keep bugging them. This is not the case in my previous internships, there will usually be a mentor and senior engineer assigned to you and give you instructions.
      - Very traditional software company : no innovation is needed, do not give incentive to hard working fellows but to actors who come to the office 9-5 and sit there for meditation.

      Advice to Management

      - Give more space and trust to the young people, otherwise SAP is not going to be attractive to young talents anymore whereas there are so many options out there for people who want to have an influential contribution

      Pros

      Love the culture, earning potential, leaders that truly care, and benefits. Great internal growth opportunity.

      Cons

      As with any sales position, territory and timing can play a role with earnings.

      Advice to Management

      Keep it up. Class-A organization.
