SAP reviews

- SAP is a very big company -- over 50,000 employees -- and inefficiencies abound. Compared to the experience of working at a smaller company, at SAP there are plenty of resources to bring to bear on problems that need to be solved. But unfortunately many of those resources are currently aimed at problems that don't need to be solved. - It is hard to navigate through SAP. Knowing who to contact requires tapping into the tribal sources of knowledge. - SAP can be extremely political. The most important tool at SAP is your personal network. Being able to line up support can be critical to accomplishing an objective.

Promotions are based on a drinking social culture. German for German speakers if you want to be in the upper management. A bias against US management. Passive aggressive people as a management style. Older people not welcome. It is not a place of continuous improvement so identifying issues to make the place better will be frowned upon by colleagues who have to do work and their management. They hide problems rather than fix them. They will apologize to clients and that is it. They are behind the curve on every aspect that are important to the industry. They are just getting traction on Cloud computing. Consulting is left to the integrators ceding revenue to them and, more importantly, SAP is not learning the install problems of their own product. SAP is always following others rather than leading and will never catchup to others. Eventually, it will lose ground to competitors.
