Pros

All in all, a very friendly atmosphere to work in, helpful co-workers, and close contact with direct managers. Good performance feedback and almost everybody is open to suggestions for improvement and interested in personal well-being. People are eager to learn and often voluntarily do extra hours. But there is always time for a coffee and a chat; social networking is very welcome. Very good options to develop your career throughout different areas within SAP. Company car after 4 years, good company pension scheme and social security, health initiatives, free lunch, free coffee/tea/water, discounted shares... no time recording.

Cons

Unpaid extra hours; we really build bad UIs; an extremely complex organizational and development structure. You need a year or two to get used to the beehive of systems, transactions, roles, and responsibilities.

Often too many management levels and unclear responsibilities.

Advice to Management

Motivate your employees if they were successful! Like in 2011 – the best year ever, but only an average bonus for us, not for you. You made some not-so-good decisions regarding employing managers on board level.
