Enterprise presence in competitive vendor war world.

Toxic leaders currently building a very bad company culture. Blaming others for leadership failure, very Germany decision making base company, and never willing to listen to anyone outside the geo.

Minority marginalization and nepotism

Pros

Good benefits, bonus comes on time and a steady paycheck for a Government job.

Cons

Rampant nepotism. If you are not part of the cool kids club (in other words white), you will not be selected to grow in your career. There is a lack of minorities in leadership as that is not the culture here as compared to any other tech company. SAP touts itself as an inclusive employer focused on diversity yet for SAP; diversity means gender equality (but you have to be white) – it’s like SAP jut woke up to gender equality and it was the latest buzzword out there. The other problem here is SAP is great at marketing itself - it is after all a sales and marketing machine and not a software company - so reality is very different from the illusion SAP markets itself as in terms of product or people diversity. If it was not for CoVID-19 a lot of people would have left sooner. Lastly from a performance management perspective, it does not matter if you kill yourself to stand out for you probably will make 10% more than the lowest performer and forget about talking about career goals (re: see above for explanation).

Please note we take Glassdoor reviews seriously and will are always in conversation with internal teams on how we can improve. At SAP, we believe diversity is not just about gender and ethnicity but incorporates all aspects of our employees’ backgrounds, their mindsets, their working and communication styles, and their contribution of new ideas that help us innovate. Just as important is the inclusion of underrepresented minorities, people with disabilities, LGBTI people, and the need to embrace different perspectives and ensure that everyone feels a sense of belonging at SAP. We encourage you to continue to ask questions and submit concerns confidentially to HR Direct so we can all help make SAP an even more diverse and inclusive workplace.

Pros

The hype sounds great. If it were only true for all employees. Read between the lines.

Cons

There are a some in management who have been there forever and some who just shouldn’t be there anymore. In particular the ones who get by while treating people terribly, and gleefully climbing over the top of them at any cost. All under the guise of being so nice. In reality just very very weak people who should go. No value added management. Very threatened by and takes credit for the success of those doing the work. Some sent to foreign posts - But still there nonetheless. Just stay away. Some people can’t be trusted and are outright slimy.
