Pros
Gym onsite Discounted pop and chips (it's like a grade school party, complete with your least favourite teachers. Hooray!) It is a job.
Cons
Turnover: 18 out of the 20 original reps are now gone, not to mention all of the in betweeners. Why? A plethora of reasons: Product: SuccessFactors was a bolt-on acquisition for SAP, a defensive strategy to protect against Oracle and Workday... which was not successful. When your manager says "We're competing against Workday? We're screwed" it's safe to say your product is lacking. Discrimination: SAP has contemporary affirmative action policies in place; that is, a certain subset of the population is given preferential treatment (I'll let you guess which one). Internal promotions reflect this ideology while merit based solutions are tossed out the window... with predictable results. Dinosaur: The majority of time is spent dealing with computer systems and processes from the 80's - pen and paper would be more effective. SAP claims it wants to be "The Cloud Computing Company by 2020." Sadly, they're about 2 decades late to the party. Groupthink: Unfortunately no one internally recognizes these problems. Dissenting opinions are regularly quashed and the people that voice them are pushed out of the organization.
