Run simple = mass-layoffs?

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits package (US); unique enterprise software solutions; great customer footprint; many internal opportunities (although limited to lower career levels)

Cons

Company has grown too big; countless acquisitions (to increase cloud revenue) have taken a toll on customers and employees (loss of core values and culture); senior executives from “outside” (Mala Anand) with very limited SAP product/industry experience; unclear/missed cloud strategy leading to mass layoffs

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.

Cons

- Full of politics - People do anything to climb up the corporate ladder - No appreciation for consultants and managers
