Pros

Lot of freedom. You will get a chance to see and work on all the latest technological trends. Good campus and very comfortable amenities. Once you are into SAP, it's difficult to leave this company due to the comfort. Some people also become lazy to leave. A good company where you have a lot of importance for personal life. More relaxed, and you'll see quite some challenges here and there.

Cons

Lot of freedom. Less onsite opportunities. Lack of direction for your career. Frequent re-orgs. Quite instability in some teams. Managers bossy attitude. Not recommended for freshers; the first 2 years will just pass without you learning actual topics. Working on new, new technologies is also a curse, as you never know what will happen to that technology in the future. There will be a large gap between you and what the market expects. But then, life is about good and bad. It's you who has to decide. I know this is a common trend in all IT companies.

Advice to Management

Try to learn how to manage people. For example, Indian managers have to continuously look at Germany.

Poor quality and lack of direction for management.

And try learning how to say NO when requirements come from other locations.
