SAP reviews

On the job training is terrible - I was thrown into giving support for a product I got no training what so ever on and expected to make calls to customers and look like a fool talking to them about something I have no knowledge on Managers has no care for her employees. Knows about the stress they are under and does nothing about it only to tell us we need to keep improving. Merit increases are terrible. (if you are lucky enough to get one) Above two cons really irk employees because all we hear about is how SAP made 11 or 12 billion profict but they can't afford to pay good salaries or hire additional headcount to allieveate pressure on staff. High turnover of employees due to this. core hours is on the SAP portal as 10 - 3.30 mon - thurs and 10 - 2.30 friday but yet we can't leave before 4pm any day .

The company is extremely hierarchical and permeated by a lack of accountability. I have seen completely incompetent managers (and higher) getting promoted or, at the very least, tolerated for years. Instead of feedback loops, there are constant political games. Decision making is hampered by tight control of information flows by leaders. The company is also very wasteful and inefficient, throwing huge amounts of money at projects that are then not properly managed and fail, causing internal frustration and customer dissatisfaction. There are many problems that could be solved if management paid attention and cared. Instead, the labyrinthine management structure and constant reorgs make a lot of things fall through the cracks. At the end of the day, customers suffer. Finally, once in management, there are no real means to advance one's career. Nearly all important positions are filled without any competition.
