Pros

Health care, days off, annual bonus

Cons

SAP has undergone significant changes in recent years, and it is disheartening to witness the deterioration of its culture, once known for its positive environment and respect for employees. Unfortunately, the departure of many valued leaders has led to a shift towards a management style that undervalues its workforce. Employees are now subject to unrealistic expectations and pressure to meet stakeholder goals, resulting in a toxic environment where salary cuts, reduced benefits, and limited promotion opportunities are commonplace. As a result, many employees are seeking opportunities elsewhere or disengaging from their work. Transparency is lacking, and even employees with outstanding performance records struggle to find advancement opportunities. Management appears solely focused on cost-cutting measures, often at the expense of employee well-being. Additionally, the promotion of inexperienced individuals to management positions has further exacerbated the lack of respect within the organization. The toxic atmosphere is taking a toll on employees' mental health, transforming SAP from a once desirable workplace into a challenging environment to navigate. Additionally, the decision to mandate a return to the office is another troubling development that contributes to employee dissatisfaction. This policy not only disregards the preferences and well-being of employees but also serves as a covert tactic to encourage resignations without providing appropriate severance packages. It's a disappointing and unfair approach, especially considering the dedication and contributions of employees over the years.

Pros

The people. This company has some of the best people. The culture was also wonderful but it seems to be changing.

Cons

Leadership has decided to enact a sweeping RTO policy, even for those hired into remote positions before the pandemic. Difficult to obtain fair pay raises as an internal employee, regardless of performance. Unsupportive management

You're family... until you're not

Pros

great benefits my leadership was overall very good

Cons

telling people they're family to get them to buy into a skewed work/life balance is at best misleading. very focused on employees in "low cost" countries, as opposed to the best talent for the job too many re-organizations (3-4 managers a year is common for many) negotiate your salary as high as possible going in, you may never get more than a cost of living raise ever again ("sorry it's just not in the budget this year"... every year) accomplishment is very driven by adjusting to manager personalities and not necessarily your work (although there are good managers there)
