Pros

Some great people, strong brand , exposure to varying solution sets and LoBs, free lunch, new MD has the right idea but a hell of a road ahead of him

Cons

Sales culture is absolutely appalling and borders on bullying. no one is allowed to see beyond the quarter and customers suffer from constant turnover of their account managers and a lack of true care for their business. Compliance deals still drive the number and there is little alignment with acquisition sales teams who generally do their own thing. Good sales people don't stay long unless they're solely in it for the money and partners are treated with a big lack of respect and general disdain

Not so "Success"Factors.

Software developer

Business Outlook

Pros

1. SAP brand - Access to SAP, SAP technologies, learn from across SAP and its subsidiaries. All employees have the ability to move within SAP and be part of a new team. 2. Ability to work on your own schedule and also flexibility to work from home. 3. Good employee benefits 4. Great people to work with, everyone is really helpful and supportive 5. Job is highly stable and reliable 6. Great learning opportunity initially.

Cons

1. The pay is sub-standard, compared to bay area's standard salary for software developer. 2. Most importantly, the immigration policies are really bad. SuccessFactors and SAP is not very employee-friendly with respect to immigration. 3. Too many changes in the upper management has caused lack of direction to the company's vision. All the good people have left the company. 4. Managers and directors are fairly new and need extensive training. 5. No growth in the long run - if you are an entry level developer/QA, there is absolutely no growth here. Everyone in the team is lead/manager/director. Most of the development work is done from outside USA, from low cost centers. So don't settle at SuccessFactors, move to the SAP umbrella such as SAP, Ariba, Concur, Lumira, etc.
