Sharp Turn to Aimlessness

Software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* Excellent colleagues. Great tallents, and a really high callibre of personable, friendly people * Formerly good benefits package. Benefits package has lost most of its benefit since the pandemic started, with no replacement in sight. * Decent work life balance, definitely has improved in this regard over the last 5 years.

Cons

* Leadership has neglected the SAP employees in an ever increasing way since the pandemic started * Deadlines drive everything. More and more it's not about doing good work, but about delivering something on time, and whatever compromises need to be made to achieve the deadline are acceptable.

Pros

SAP has relationships with many of the most influential corporations in the world, and thus a tremendous opportunity to truly help the world run better. Also developer of amazing analytic tools, SAP has an opportunity to help address some of our nation's biggest challenges such as COVID, homelessness, mental health, recidivism, etc.

Cons

Over the years, SAP North America has become increasingly focused on internal power struggles and politics. While the Customer Success message is nice, there are very few leaders left who will choose to do the right thing if it includes any bit of risk to them personally. It is unfortunate how drastically the character of the company has changed for the worse in such a short period of time.

Pros

The benefit are good, nothing amazing compare to what comparable companies are offering at the moment

Cons

Management is shockingly bad, no communication to the teams, very little career progression. No matter how hard you work, your work will go unnoticed This place will take a toll on your mental health

SAP values our employees’ opinions and we want you to feel empowered here without going through unnecessary layers or gatekeepers. We can only get better if you express this confidentially to HR Direct. SAP has trained employee relations experts willing and able to address this.
