SAP Associate Software Engineer reviews

Was employed as part of campus placement. The HR promised 20 LPA for the role and blocked us from applying at other organisations. Don't know what "per annum" meant to her. But, I only got 45% of that as pay+benefits. Because, they blocked us, I couldn't apply for organizations that actually paid their people what they promised. Being specialized in AI (M. Tech), SAP couldn't even give me AI role. Senior leadership believes in using services from cloud service providers. Finally when I resigned, the management made me pay the joining bonus in entirety which was taxed @31.25%. Didn't even ask for the joining bonus during any interview. The HR just added it so that they can harass the employees who leaves. A former teammate of mine with 7 years at SAP left the organization due to lack of growth. There are people who wants to leave, but again the management gave him a position of "Associate Architect" to retain him. Don't know how that adds value to the team/product.

Very laid back culture in general not good for very ambitious people
