      A ton of politics

      Senior software architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - probably the "least evil" of the big software companies - very big on sustainability/environmentalism/social consciousness - fantastic bike commuter program - great layoff package

      Cons

      - lots of night-time meetings with india development center, including frequent meetings on sunday nights and other non-work hours - management cares much more about politics than technical details - lip service paid to quality but very little action - almost all growth seems to be targeted for india, which means the silicon valley office is stagnant - they laid off all of San Ramon office just to save on building costs, implying that bean counters are in charge

      Always keeps it interesting

      Solutions architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Been here over 18 years. Like the industry, SAP is constantly evolving with the times and has come from Mainframe, to Client Server, to the Web and now is a force in Cloud Computing. What has impressed me the most is that SAP will invest and retrain its employees as opposed to going out finding those new skills. If you like learning new skills, this is the place for you.

      Cons

      SAP has become a very large organization with around 100k employees. Having been here 18 years it has lost some of its internal culture but I guess that is to be expected when you have experienced such growth.

      Pros

      Great and very friendly people. Market leading products, with real vision for the future. Great company prospects. Genuine interest and focus on employees. Good benefits, and nice touches including free lunches and good coffee! Lots of development opportunities and interesting options for future career paths. Quality offices and working environment and good technology for employees. Visionary CEO.

      Cons

      There are limited offices that are very focused on Clockhouse and Maidenhead in the UK, it would be good to have some more regional options. SAP is a process-driven company, so there can be a culture of working within a narrow remit field.
