      I worked at SAP full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      +Cafeteria with OK food, but in Quebec for example, it's taxable benefit so you pay something like 6$ for a meal. The food program is optional.
      +Easy access to metro
      +Bonus program
      +Opportunities to travel
      +Outstanding top management
      +Ok benefits (compared to what you'd get with any other company)

      Cons

      -Bad middle management, their interest goes on top of that of their employee.
      -Bad management of the dependencies between remote teams. As a developer, you're thrown at a project, expected to get a non collaborative remote team in India to do their job somehow. So if you want to get things done, you have no choice but work long hours to compensate for another team.
      -You start with an OK salary compared to competition, but over time you'll fall behind. Personally I got an offer 150% better when I decided to move. The bonus is fair compared to competition but only gets you where another company (even startups) would pay you as a base salary.
      -Your choice is pretty much restricted to SAP because you'll be working on pretty much proprietary sap technologies such as SAPUI5, ABAP, Hana etc.
      -The middle management at least in the Montreal labs is not good (the hybris montreal office though is different), people always complaining about work-life balance, or not getting enough help and guidance from their managers, even that heard horror stories of managers harassing employee or attacking their dignity during team meetings.

      Advice to Management

      The top executives are doing a great job but the middle management needs to improve.
      Improve developers working conditions.
      Improve the interview process to get the right people for the job.

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

      Pros

      Large company, opportunity to learn and grow in different team,

      Cons

      I think I have a bad experience as I had a bad manager that always put pressure and tight deadline to my work as my manager only cares about number of new features can be delivered
      it seems to have better pay but I now have a better pay at another company
      not recommend to friend who does not always want to work for extra hours
