There is definitely work life balance in SAP.. but it has become like any other IT company nowadays.. it WAS employee centric but I don’t feel it is anymore.
IBM also has layoffs and so does SAP..
In SAP, it depends on which product you work on.
Depending on the product, you might be working on very futuristic things.. while outside market is easily 3 to 4 years behind.
There are a lot of employee friendly policies also in SAP.

I am not sure about how it is in IBM.

SAP labs is the better choice and will take you much further in your overall career .. you will get better exposure, value addition to your resume

IBM has a better work life balance.... More life, less work.

SAP, has a good work life balance. Balanced in terms of work and life.

That said, SAP is an employee centric company which makes it a good place to stay.

So, IBM if you want to chill more and SAP if you want to work decently and have a good chill environment while working.
