SAP Reviews

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

Pros – Great product line. Outstanding installed base of world-class companies across many industries. Politics are minimal (at least in the field organization) and there are few barriers to internal transfers. Field sales/service organizations have a strong "virtual" culture, and many SAP employees live in cities where there is no local SAP office.

Cons – Few opportunities for candidates without prior SAP experience. Recent turnover in executive leadership in North America is a concern. Little commitment to success of the consulting organization; at a fundamental level, SAP doesn't "get" professional services the way a Deloitte or Accenture gets it. Consulting business is not growing, and management opportunities are limited. Complexity of product line can be mind-numbing, even for current employees.

Advice to Senior Management – Define and execute a strategy for ensuring your Consulting business is focused on making customers successful, not just being a revenue source.

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.
