SAP Reviews

Current Employee – been working at SAP full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Great company vision and mission: To create a best-run world, by helping our customers become best-run businesses and to improve the lives of others. Transforming the way people think about enterprise software companies.

Cons – Re-organizations never stop. Poor longer-term planning in some business units (e.g. planning for year is completed by end of Q1 of that year).

Advice to Senior Management – Focus beyond just the next quarter.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at SAP full-time for more than a year

Pros – good bonus, good benefits, good for resume

Cons – traveling, lack of training due to budget cuts, North America bonus system compare to the Global services

Advice to Senior Management – change the north america bonus system so that the consultants are not hurt for taking vacations. Provide more training for the personnel so that they can change career directions if they need to. Lower the rates so that SAP can compete with smaller companies and those that provide off-shore services in order to be able to acquire more projects and raise consultants' utilization.

Current Employee – been working at SAP full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Technology is stimulating and interesting: HANA is a fantastic product to work on!!!!
SAP is not afraid to invest in its products.
Worker-oriented: culture of respect, great benefits, up to 5 weeks of vacation, great bonus.
People are technically very competent. I am not seeing ego problems.
CEOs are not afraid to admit their mistakes, when they make some, and come across as true leaders.

Cons – So far, and I am thinking hard abou it, but I am not finding anything negative. Perhaps the inertia that comes with processes in a company of this size. But even that is a problem that is understood, and the company is currently flattening the management structure.

Current Employee – been working at SAP full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Excellent culture, very collaborative. Smart people with solid credentials, but without some of the attitude /chip on the shoulder you see at some Valley companies. Allows flexibility to move around within the company, whether across functions or geographies. Cash compensation is among best in the valley with a good chance for work-life balance.

Cons – Sometimes not innovative enough. Old-school management styles and development approaches slow down company progress. Distances with virtual colleagues and the need for remote collaboration makes work a bit more challenging.

Pros – The company give flexibility in working environment.

Cons – a lot of change in management level

Current Employee – been working at SAP full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Not really much to say here. There are some unique benefits, but they are vastly out-weighed by the inferior management here.

Cons – This is specific to La Crosse as I have little experience with other offices:
- Managers who are not qualified for their position.
- Coworkers discouraged from working together
- Interaction between employees is like being in grade school again
- Little reward for hard work
- No work-life balance
- Difficult to be promoted because the senior manager is stuck in his position because he is unpromotable.
