Pros
-> Good work-life balance - quite a relaxed atmosphere; -> Free food.
Cons
-> Processes suck - it is still not clear how the work is distributed, what are the priorities, what should I work on right now when there are 5 different tasks/bug reports coming from 5 different sources. -> I don't understand what the managers are here for. My manager does not know what I am doing. I think he just stays here since late 80s waiting to get retired. -> What do I need to get promoted? This is not transparent and subjective. -> Our product sucks and people don't believe there is going to be tomorrow. When I was about to start my job at SAP, I was reading all these positive reviews and "Great place to work" reports... One thing which catches the eyes from day one are facilities - the headquarters buildings are old, look like an average university inside as opposed to all these new and shiny IT companies. Sometimes I get a feeling SAP is stuck in the 90's. And again facilities - why there is almost no one clearing the office... They vacuum probably once a week or month.
