Pros

Few great individuals still left in this company, although mostly in Germany. Tons of material available for anything you want about SAP products and solutions. Great company for sales jobs, and there are some really smart sales leaders all the way to the top.

Cons

Bureaucratic setup that does not get much work done, with too many middle managers who have no clue about software development.

Very many bad projects and failures brushed aside by smart marketing & sales teams. But I'm not quite sure how long this will continue before things come out.

Uninspiring leadership from management in running customer engagements.

Glory days are over, and it's not a good place for software developers as there is not much imaginative work happening here.

Advice to Management

We need to trim middle management, eliminate bureaucracy, and rejuvenate the development community before it's too late.
