SAP reviews

Bad expectations management, when you enter the company lots of promises are made, very few are realized, from project opportunities, to personal growth within the organization - for example, internal mobility is a selling point when they want to hire you, but in fact it is very complicated to move within SAP.

Culture of backstabbing and poor leadership. In terms of career development - you are on your own to navigate w little in the way of coaching. Lots of management turn over so you can have multiple managers in a short space of time all w differing or conflicting agendas. Flat organisation leaves little opportunity for upward mobility or longevity which is what management want. Organic innovation is painfully bureaucratic - HANA was taken outside as a skunksworks project & rest of recent product innovation bought in through acquisition w middling results on integration. You have a job for life in Germany if you can stand the boredom of the local region and sterility of head office complex. Elsewhere people are an expendable commodity w a 80's like Gordon Gecko attitude of greed is good.
