Pros

SAP is committed to providing the best service to the customer and executive management stands behind this philosphy. This increases the success of customer-facing employees. SAP provides innumerable training opportunities through webex and other elearning vehicles. The benefits are really good, including a 401(K) match, pension plan, three weeks vacation, and more.

Cons

I am satisified with all areas of SAP.

Pros

Opportunities - tons of them. Chance to travel and work overseas. Company is well known, maybe for its legacy systems but it is the 800 lb gorilla. Working in a 50,000 employee company can be a bit daunting however the converse means plenty of opportunity. I think it comes down to "think globally, act locally" by this I mean it's who your immediate management chain is that will really make or break the work environment. Maybe this is obvious but this mitigates the fact the company is so large. The benefits are also extensive and the company takes care of its performers. A critical view of any company is how they handle the top 10%. This may seem elitist but if you don't take care of your top 10%, you will find them elsewhere. SAP understands this.

Cons

MRP, ERP and any other 3 letter alphabet soup systems can be like chewing chalk however the amount of sophistication and technology required to get this stuff right add some luster back. Regarding company size, this can be daunting almost like you need a map. This makes it difficult to determine the interfaces and moving parts in any strategic effort as there are many stakeholders whos intent has to be gauged and accounted for. This just means you have to be more astute and organized if you're dealing with senior level work. I guess this would apply to any large company and SAP being a German company means you must be culturally aware.

Pros

At SAP America (and SAP Labs) you are surrounded by top talent from across the globe. The benefits are industry competitive and the work environment is unparalleled for a business-customer focused firm. The company is extremely accommodating when it comes to working needs (time off; work from home). Consensus driven culture means that managers (both direct and top level) take the time to consider input from lower down the food chain. Significant work occurs across departments and across geographies, so you are exposed to a variety of personalities and systems, which make things very interesting at times, for better or worse.

Cons

The consensus driven culture that is instilled in the company by its strong German roots can at times paralyze decision making processes, and slow reaction to competition. (that said, the company has become much better at reacting in recent years.) Sometimes too many people are consulted on management decisions that should be made at lower levels. The geographical spread of the broader organization, and the dispersion of functional and marketing units, can add a significant degree of complexity to go to market and other company wide roll outs. that said, this global footprint is a serious advantage in dealing with large clients.
