      Pros

      - Opportunities for personal and professional growth - Perks like free food, car allowance, free laptop, lots of office space - Team holidays and massive parties

      Cons

      - Non technical managers micromanaging technical employees - Tech employees are treated like slaves - Non-tech employees are respected more than engineers in a company built on software - Too many acquisitions for tech staff to handle (and for non-tech staff to enjoy) - More growth opportunities for non-tech (this is a downward spiral for SAP) - High management to project ratio - Focus is on development of business side while neglecting engineering - Copying the "IBM" culture i.e. employees acting like they are over professional and formal when in reality managers are barking at techies because they themselves don't have a technical background

      We are sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience with your managers and would like to let you know that we have a dedicated HR team on site or confidentially via HR Direct. This would then allow training and coaching on best practice when delivering feedback to be given to our newer managers and to ensure that bridges are continually being built.

      Pros

      The people at SAP are genuinely nice, and the culture is generally supportive. The work-life balance is good to an extent, but when you're busy, you're BUSY. SAP is highly complex so expect to take a year to ramp up.

      Cons

      Only way to get a high salary is if you're hired externally. They do not reward employees who are loyal to the company. Closed opportunities often have to go through the Compensation Exception Committee, creating uncertainty around earnings. Prepare for constant change, whether that's solutions being removed from your sales bag, account shifts, territory realignments, or changing compensation policies. Quotas can be difficult to attain
