Pros

Outstanding products, solutions and efforts toward innovation. Many bright, hard working and aggressive people. Connections in the industry are great and SAP "card" is a door opener.

Cons

Too much of the focus today is on sales and marketing goals (and results), with not enough recognition of general economy. Product development and solutions expertise seems to have become a second priority wtih executive management looking at the numbers drive. The "partner" game and high margin goals can cause bad behavior.

Pros

Lots of opportunities for movement within the company if you look for them, strong sense of teamwork and collaboration if you find the right team, and opportunities to work on cutting-edge tech and business issues leveraging the scale of a global enterprise.

Cons

The size and the complexity of the organization mean that there sometimes is a lack of clarity and lack of alignment, internally. Decision making can be slow at times, and in the end this is not so much a truly global company as it is a German company with operations (and thousands of employees) dispersed around the globe - a subtle but important distinction.

Pros

Great compensation package - very high commission for software sales. Huge brand advertising and PR machine - real door opener. Customers CV is wrapped up in SAP Brand and they support - almost slavishly. Good events and great Philly office.

Cons

Worked like a dog, far too inwardly focussed - as if Bill McDermott is a god, not just going for CEO but the Papacy. Huge number of internal reports and spreadhseets - huge CYA meetings and reporting. Shamed/Embrassed by poor customer value delivered for software and esp support. Now a hire and fire organisation - do not expect a career in sales at SAP ,just work your butt off, hang on and enjoy the ride.
