Vantaggi
There are a lot of very talented people that work in the Dublin, CA office. Pay is good and there is opportunity to learn different skills... HANA, Business Warehouse and front end tools in my case.
Svantaggi
I was with Sybase prior to the SAP acquisition. This was the Sybase Corporate office and we were "the center of the universe" as far as the company was concerned. SAP is headquartered in Germany so we are now on the very edge of the universe as far as the company is concerned and it was very difficult to get put on any meaningful projects. The company is also going through a major change in that they're moving more to the cloud which means less IT staff is needed. The combination of these two scenarios caused our entire 8 man team to be terminated after 14 or 15 ears of working at Sybase/SAP.
