Ok company, don't expect too much

Pros

* Work/life balance. * If you are hired in with a competitive pay, then they offer competitive pay. * Everyone is nice! * I feel valued and respected as an employee with money/title aside.

Cons

* I don't feel valued and respected as an employee with money/title included. * Micro-promotions appear to be utilized to help limit growth of over-performers due to title inflation of already promoted under-performers. It's one thing to inflate one's importance and value wanting a promotion, it's another to see it rampant across multiple orgs. * You must threaten to leave or leave then return to increase salary to market standards. Even with multiple promotions, cost of living out-paces promotion salary increases. I've been told "it sounds just like when I worked there many years ago." * Lower bar on competency resulting in drowning out the all-stars. Unfortunately that results in all-stars leaving or losing passion/drive.

Thanks for your feedback. I understand things can get noisy at a large company; A lot of opinions going on at once, but we try to promote a work culture where everyone should be able to have their input. One way we do this is with our Life at SAP channels, we try to give employees the chance to tell their SAP story.

Pros

Good benefits, solid financials. If you don’t like your manager, wait 10 minutes. International colleagues were a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Alternated between fear and chaos. If your employer is acquired by SAP you will be bullied by more management than you ever thought possible along with your customers. Sales who don’t understand your product will sell impossible solutions to their on- premise customers. Expect to be blamed for disasters. Threatening emails will be directed to you from high above to “Protect our on premise business at all cost”!
