      Lots of politics and German-focused

      Pros

      Great benefit and health insurance. Great middle level manager (at least mine is) Work-life balance Got interesting products, the latest technologies to work on. Culture is friendly, warm. Actively engage employees. The company is steering to the right innovation direction. Nice, smart colleagues. Very stable.

      Cons

      I love this company, but it's not without its problems. Hopefully, someone can read this and help to improve SAP. 1, Politics is prevalent. Favoritism is popular. 2, Seniority still favors over meritocracy. 3, Discrimination is pretty prevalent. There is a big difference in treatment between German/White/Germany-office employees and all others: - Same job but German/white people always got higher titles even they are hired at the same time, in the same department and doing the same things. It applies to everyone in my department. Needless to say to salary will be different. - Slow promotion for non-German/non-white employees. - A number of people just got promoted to managers because they are German. I know a few German managers who are doing very little, know literally nothing about the field they're managing, always on vacation but still got promoted quickly to director and VP. It's so crazy. Germans employees sometimes are pretty arrogant and don't value the opinions of their colleagues. The above reason also makes the product is uncompetitive because the weak managers who oversee the products have little knowledge in the relevant fields. 4, Heavy processes which really slows down the innovation. 5, Inadequate equipment. E.g.: impossible to request for 2 monitors.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We know you care and so do we. So appreciate it. Please know that if you are facing favoritism or discrimination this is something we do not tolerate. Every day we strive to engineer solutions to fuel innovations, foster equality, and spread opportunity for our employees and customers across borders and cultures. And we have processes in place to prevent mistreatment of others. The one thing I personally love about SAP is how we as employees have respect for others. A diverse and inclusive workforce keeps us competitive and provides opportunities for all. Together (our employees, our customers, and society) we can transform industries, grow economies, and sustain our environment. Again we are very sorry you had a poor experience. You mention you have great middle level manager, we encourage you to reach out your manager, or your HRBP, and/or our HR Compliance team (hrcompliance@sap.com) to address your personal matters and are confident the team will look into your specific issue. Please keep us posted on how you make out and we will look into this as well.

      The worst experience in Canada

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Benefits (lunch card, and basic health coverage)

      Cons

      Summary: Slavery, deprecated technologies, and mismanagement. My former manager stole me from another team, as she said on the first time. After 8 days, she provided a document containing negative feedback about me and submitted that document to the HR. Although I worked >10 hours a day to meet the team's expectation, she believed that I'm not productive enough. After a few weeks, she started to annoy me by ignoring me in meetings, aggressive conversations and super polite emails. The frustrating point is the HR who never listened to my comments before any judgement.

      Declining Employee Sentiment

      Pros

      Total compensation is good, though not as high as some peers in the industry. Though a 3-day return-to-office mandate has recently been imposed, general flexibility in terms of hours and hybrid work is still good. Leave time and other benefits are also relatively good compared to other companies (though, again, they may not be as good compared to peer companies in the tech industry).

      Cons

      Declining employee sentiment due to poor leadership, layoffs, restructurings, and reversals in work location policies. Main issues at the company are a lack of vision, poor quality of products compared to competitors, and struggles with integrating various acquisitions.
