Pros

One of the worlds largest software companies with all the great products you would expect

Cons

Leadership team are a clique and appear desensitized to certain management and individual standards. The consequences of this have filtered through the business and there appears to be no desire to develop a sustainable business beyond short termism, compliance and a hire and fire mentality. HR function seems to do little other than churn employees. Turnover rates in sales are remarkable.

Thank you so much for your review. It's unfortunate to hear of the issues with management. The mission of our leaders is to drive innovation, but we want our employees to enjoy what they do.

Pros

Pays well. Free food and drink.

Cons

1. Manager KPI's around hiring "early talent" (= Millennial females) and instruction to move older, more expensive, employees out whenever possible. 2. Focus on a good story versus good work. 3. Throw away mentality. For years at SAP my disability had not progressed to being obvious and as such I did not disclose my disability. Then my disability started to be more apparent and in spite of my wife’s concerns, I told my manager I have a previously undisclosed disability and I self-identified my disability on Form CC-305 with SAP. Within a few months of doing so my “position was eliminated” and my SAP employment was terminated.

Pros

Work life balance... or did I say life life balance... coz there is mostly no work... That is why this place is a magnet for lazy bums who want to live the rest of their lives doing nothing under the shelter of like minded ppl... Great exposure to global business software and one can do wonders in this company if he is innovative... but wait, local management will kill you and your idea... coz innovation sounds like "work" isn't it, and bangalore management do not like working ppl..

Cons

Mediocre culture of SAP labs bangalore... They believe in recruiting mediocrity and retaining mediocrity... that is why it has slipped to paymaster 70 percentile now... and over the years I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes 50 percentile... There is no differentiation for hard work and talent... all get same hike and promotion is always slated in 2.5 years or 3 years... does not matter who deserve or who doesn't... So teams are like family business... all managers are friends and they have their wives also in the same team.... which makes office look like kitty party mostly... they decide among themselves the future of team and individuals....
