SAP

• Steady and stable work environment.
• There are a lot of good engineers.
• Good starting place for interns or for people without a lot of experience.

• Lower pay compared to other companies on the market.
• A lot of internal politics.
• Bad middle management.
• At certain teams, there is a lot of favoritism.
• Very few opportunities for career development.
• Decisions are usually made for political reasons instead of technical ones, which has a bad impact on the product.
• Managers love and promote "talkers" instead of "doers".
• Depending on the team, one can get stuck with legacy tech, making it unemployable in the long term.
• A lot of "coasters," and the company is fine with that.
• Not a lot of work for senior engineers, thus most people leave after a certain number of years.
• The higher management does not know what it's doing.
• Overall, the company is in decline, and the higher management has no idea how to improve the situation.
• Very frequent reorganizations.
• After each reorganization, everything starts from scratch, thus a lot of effort is lost for no good reason.

Most of the middle management should be completely replaced.
