Pros

Good products. Huge customer footprint. Salary is industry average

Cons

Spectre like European leadership are crushing the life from anything resembling integrity and creativity. SAP likes to present itself as progressive and "running simple" - this is leadership hyperbole. If you enjoy spreadsheets, incredibly burdensome internal processes, your every activity monitored and critiqued. Endless gazing at dashboards, every day, evening or holiday being invaded by "managers" demanding cadence, profit before decency and a constantly changing workforce then this is the place for you.

We're sorry to hear about your negative experience. SAP is a tremendously progressive company when you look at the global initiatives working to improve people's lives inside and outside the company. Rather than surrender to internal processes that might not be ideal, at SAP we encourage our employees to take it upon themselves to improve them. At SAP, our leaders let our employees make decisions. So while we are sorry to hear you have experienced an unpleasant amount of burdensome internal processes within the company, we empower our employees to take it upon themselves to break them!

Pros

Great people, nice offices, lots of smart people to learn from, flexible work environment. Good base salary and benefits (shares etc, o/s training etc).

Cons

Extremely unrealistic targets handed down from head office in Germany means that no one in region is on target throughout the year which drives desperate / bad behaviour from management who are trying to keep their jobs. They don't care about customer outcomes, only closing deals to drive revenue. Unfortunately, this means that they have few referencable customers which negatively effects future sales processes. High level of arduous internal processes takes you away from customer facing activities. Poor internal systems. CRM is poor. 50% gate on Comms. Only expect to hit OTE one in every 3 or 4 years. Excessive forecast meetings due to poor use of bad CRM

Pros

Really good technology stack with promise

Cons

Treats customers very badly. 40% of revenue comes from compliance issues and all clients are constantly being audited. All clients hate SAP and the company has a stated goal of 20% employee turnover.
