  I can't say anything about the consulting companies, but the developers in Walldorf that I got to know were all competent. I can only talk about my experiences and there are many in my social circle (computer science students at KIT) who are capable developers and either work for SAP as working students or would like to join SAP in the course of their professional life. As a first job, SAP is actually not that popular. But that's due to the fact that many don't want to join Big Corporate directly, but want to work at startups first.

  I do, especially at SAP itself there was and is lots of interesting work hidden under all the crud. For the rest, relative wages and job security seem to be the driving factors for young graduates to join the space these days. The day to day there isn't really worse or more or less boring than any other B2B integration gig. Consultancies and working at the larger ones also suck for their very own reasons. That'd be the case with SAP or without. They hire business type people because the technical challenge of these projects is minimal compared to other aspects. Sure, most of these projects could often use a bit more of technical seniority, expertise, and overall strategy. But I think it's too easy to attribute failures solely to that, it's a mixture of problems, just like any large scale failure in the space.
