SAP Canada Reviews

Pros

SAP Canada (Vancouver) has great atmosphere and drive for innovation. Definitely great benefits for full-time employees, especially the SAP lunch program card at Yaletown restaurants!

Cons

Compared to other major software companies, SAP Canada (Vancouver) cannot compete in terms of employee basic salary. Recent years many people left because they get paid better elsewhere, and not helping is the high living cost & housing in Vancouver.

Advice to Senior Management

I believe SAP at Walldorf should invest more at the Vancouver office. Not only because our BusinessObjects products have saved SAP, but they should look how to better retain the employees.

Pros

Benefits; Compensation; Lots of knowledgeable and talented people; Good Training.

Cons

Promotions based on whom you know well, and relationships and not on merits of peoples performance

Advice to Senior Management

Managers need improvement on actually managing people effectively.

Pros

Great office, lots of ammenities

Cons

Salary is not very competitive in Canada compared to other areas in North America

Advice to Senior Management

Better salary and compensation

Pros

SAP has flexible hours with hard-working employees. Employees are very approachable, and are willing to help out each other.

Cons

It is a larger company, and thus you will not know everyone personally. On a positive note, since it is a large company there are many varied career opportunities.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work!

Pros

Opportunities to grow your career if you show initiative

Cons

Compensation could have been a little more competitive with industry standards

Pros

SAP is a good place to work in Canada. The acquisitions are being digested and things are getting back on track. I would say we have some great products and some missed but overall our products and services get a lot of respect.

Cons

What is bringing us down in Vancouver is the senior management. This director was fired from Sage for HR crap and ended up here and is now performing very questionable actions. And everyone knows it. Wont last but how come we dont hire good anymore?
The head currently stinks and so the whole body reeks but at least we have our products.

Advice to Senior Management

Dont bring down our reputation. One particular one should go sweep floors somewhere. Where is HR?

Pros

Abundance in talent and respectable individuals, a fun place to work, company is moving in the right direction with its on-demand and in memory technology

Cons

challenges in identifying a career roadmap and definition of position objectives, disparate sub-teams and groups which can deter progress as an organization

Advice to Senior Management

I believe SAP Canada is in good hands and has a vision to succeed. It will accomplish objectives necessary to sustain and excel in both performance and corporate cultural goals.

Pros

For those that can do a lot of study on-line, the information is there and available.

Cons

No one is going ot help you find the information you need for carrier advancement.

Pros

Food plan, nice location, free parking at night

Cons
