Beware the long term VP

Pros

The hype sounds great. If it were only true for all employees. Read between the lines.

Cons

There are a some in management who have been there forever and some who just shouldn’t be there anymore. In particular the ones who get by while treating people terribly, and gleefully climbing over the top of them at any cost. All under the guise of being so nice. In reality just very very weak people who should go. No value added management. Very threatened by and takes credit for the success of those doing the work. Some sent to foreign posts - But still there nonetheless. Just stay away. Some people can’t be trusted and are outright slimy.

Pros

great vision, incredible people, winners that want to make the world a better place. Great place for young talent. Office is beautiful, wonderful facilities, free lunch, and many extras that make the work environment wonderful. The people at SAP are the best, and nearly all would do anything to help.

Cons

Level 2 & 3 leadership poorly trained, not qualified. Overcrowded, redundant teams, political. SVP layer of company is a mess. Vision is clear at the top of the company, but then at the SVP layer that vision is twisted into a departmental, political battleground, a game of thrones. Stock and other equity options are not great. Brilliant, tenured, experienced people that bleed for the company are gifted very little stock. BAD place for young talent (leadership at people managerial level is weak, uncertain about how to lead). Not unusual to have a new boss every 3-9 months resulting in limited understanding of skill, trust, relationship.

Pros

Nice office, good location, decent benefits

Cons

I'm unsure of how my manager even got her manager position. She kept trying to make political power plays with more senior managers based solely on the fact that she's close with a VP here. She even had an "Agile Developer" on the team who had no technical skills whatsoever. Definitely a lot of office politics that get in the way of any real innovative or impactful work. Would not recommend.
