Good place to work - but company loyalty is not highly rewarded

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great reputation in the software world - de facto standard for ERP. Comp is competitive but not great- unless you leave and come back.

Cons

HR puts up road blocks and does not reward loyalty with higher pay or opportunities. There is some degree of empire-building with ex-Siebel and ex-Oracle etc. people coming into higher level positions and immediately promoting their brethren hired in 2 weeks later. Also some short-sightedness in my opinion on quarterly results for license sales.

Pros

SAP represents a great heritage of treating it employees well. Unfortunately that is lost. The company has a great base of application technology that can really improve a companies operations. It has the potential for a return to greatness. Did I mention the free lunch?

Cons

When SAP lost Shai Agassi, it lost its visionary. Now the company is run by arrogant and self-absorbed senior managers. The result is that employees have become a commodity. You will not be valued nor feel as though what you do (or think) matters. Do not consider having a life outside of SAP. Be prepared for being lost in a large quagmire of a company.

Pros

IF you like an opportuntity for Global Travel then go here.

Cons

Culture can be slanted to 'German' side of the house. Depending on which department you are in can be a decent place or bad. Large corporation with typical politics. Travel cab be excessive. Can have peaks or periods of time where you are working much more than your 40hr week. Is not as loyal to employees now in 2008 as it was in the 1990's. They will cut people without thinking if the numbers are not being met, just like every other large corporation.
