SAP Software Developer reviews

- Politics slow down movement - Lots of tiered management - They send people managers to technical conferences and training courses with the intent that they return and teach the technical staff which rarely works well. - Just a job to most developers (this isn't necessarily a bad thing for most, I'm a passionate person who thinks about the stuff we are building all the time find it a bit demotivating when none of my colleagues want to talk about it)

1. The pay is sub-standard, compared to bay area's standard salary for software developer. 2. Most importantly, the immigration policies are really bad. SuccessFactors and SAP is not very employee-friendly with respect to immigration. 3. Too many changes in the upper management has caused lack of direction to the company's vision. All the good people have left the company. 4. Managers and directors are fairly new and need extensive training. 5. No growth in the long run - if you are an entry level developer/QA, there is absolutely no growth here. Everyone in the team is lead/manager/director. Most of the development work is done from outside USA, from low cost centers. So don't settle at SuccessFactors, move to the SAP umbrella such as SAP, Ariba, Concur, Lumira, etc.
