Pros

If you have the right technical skills, SAP will give you the space to learn and grow. It's not this frenetic pace found in other places where you must program X lines of code or deliver a program half-tested. There's the importance of needed slack to get the work done. Sometimes overtime, but not too bad. Overall benefits are excellent. May not be as progressive as Google or Facebook, but those places are crazy busy.

Cons

Not a lot of diversity at the director-level and up.

Development is usually for tech skills, but not much for management or mentoring.

Doesn't seem to be a clear pathway to develop leadership for director, VP, etc. – especially for minorities.

At the director level, it's very monochromatic or part of the Indian clique.

Multiple executives come and go with the wind from acquisitions.

The only stable thing is the German upper leadership.

Advice to Management

Develop a more management track for diversity.
