Pros

great vision, incredible people, winners that want to make the world a better place. Great place for young talent. Office is beautiful, wonderful facilities, free lunch, and many extras that make the work environment wonderful. The people at SAP are the best, and nearly all would do anything to help.

Cons

Level 2 & 3 leadership poorly trained, not qualified. Overcrowded, redundant teams, political. SVP layer of company is a mess. Vision is clear at the top of the company, but then at the SVP layer that vision is twisted into a departmental, political battleground, a game of thrones. Stock and other equity options are not great. Brilliant, tenured, experienced people that bleed for the company are gifted very little stock. BAD place for young talent (leadership at people managerial level is weak, uncertain about how to lead). Not unusual to have a new boss every 3-9 months resulting in limited understanding of skill, trust, relationship.

Pros

Nice office, good location, decent benefits

Cons

I'm unsure of how my manager even got her manager position. She kept trying to make political power plays with more senior managers based solely on the fact that she's close with a VP here. She even had an "Agile Developer" on the team who had no technical skills whatsoever. Definitely a lot of office politics that get in the way of any real innovative or impactful work. Would not recommend.

Pros

Good compensation and benefits package

Cons

From my personal experience working in SAP Successfactors Engineering department I feel like there is a huge ongoing problem with diversity. Most of the Dev and QA management are Indians as well as team members they prefer to hire: A lot of the Indians get hired on the spot without going through official interview process, just because they are relatives or friends of those managers, which makes it difficult for other applicants to be considered for a position. There is a lot of politics involved in the processes, project assignments, promotions, etc. Number of meetings during the business hours as well as non business hours is abnormal. Engineers can’t focus on their task because they are always destructed by meetings and have to catch up the project at night. Evening meetings are not contributing to healthy work-personal life balance, and taking quality family time away.
