Slightly off topic, what's the culture like at SAP? We've recently picked up a few top level SAP bods to run our smaller business, the changes have been both rapid and dramatic.

I'm at a mid-sized German office (in Dresden, about 500 employees), and it's a pleasant work culture overall. Sure, there's ample bureaucracy and office politics (as with any large company), but I can easily see myself working here until retirement if the work continues to challenge me (in a positive way) as it does now.

It probably helps that my direct manager is shielding us from a lot of the bureaucracy and allowing us lots of individual freedom wrt technical decisions (our team sometimes feels more like a small startup embedded within the company). But people from other teams seem (mostly) happy with their positions as well.

I work in a medium office in Pittsburgh (we're getting a new building soon.)

The culture is very good here, part of it due to it being formerly a big Ariba office, but the benefits are good, work from home is fantastic. Honestly I don't love my work but the benefits keep me here.
