Pros

Good executive management that cares about the employees. Management is transparent to its employees. There are a bunch of people in the company who want to take on challenges and want to make a difference in the industry. The CTO of the company is a good leader with qualities needed to make SAP competitive.

Cons

Even though SAP has a great deal of positive energy, there are many people in the company who take advantage of it. Layers of mid-level management do nothing but talk. I have seen many of them who have been here for years and do a lot of talking but deliver nothing useful to customers. The CTO and leadership have a vision, and SAP needs to cut all the layers of fat and create a flat hierarchy of engineers to deliver the vision.

Advice to Management

When someone starts talking, stop them and ask them to show what/when they will deliver. Talk to them about the results after they have delivered and give them constructive feedback.
