SAP Reviews

Pros

My manager supports me to work on my highest possible level. Wellbeing, mindfulness, inclusion is not just talked about but lived. The culture is open and honest. Values are not just written but lived. Colleagues willingly and proactively share information. The company is generous even in small touches e.g. we have advents calendars on our desks :)

Cons

The product world is increasingly complex and customers find it difficult to understand our offerings. We are however getting a lot of training to be able to explain.

Advice to Management

Continue to communicate timely and openly

Pros

great data product experts, dynamic sales culture, well-oiled sales engine, and process, great colleagues

Cons

no investment in industries, no career development opportunities as an industry expert, 'not really' a cloud company

Pros

Focus on reputation and trust. Generally always someone available who can help navigate a process. Inclusive and flexible culture. Capability and experience. Brand. Great pay and benefits.

Cons

Change is slow and laborious. So much time and energy expended for what sometimes seems like a simple outcome due to rigid and complex systems and processes. Focus taken away from the customer and things that really make a difference due to those same complex systems and processes.

Advice to Management

CX feels like a hotchpotch of uncoordinated products - simplify and double-down on what works.

Pros

Great comp, perks, career opps

Cons

A little minion in a big crowd.

Pros

- Free food (limited) - Free parking (limited) - Flexible hours

Cons

- Bullying culture encouraged - Duplicitousness also encouraged - Pay is not competitive - Concur is a convoluted product - Unrealistic expectations put upon the employee - Virtually no support, or the illusion of support when you start, however you're soon thrown under the bus - Not able to work from home until almost a year, despite being told otherwise - Management will gladly work you into an early grave

Advice to Management

- Streamline the product and make it into something that resembles software from the 21st Century, not the 1990s - Address the serious inconsistency with your WFH policy. Why are some teams either home based (doing the same role) or allowed to WFH freely when others are not? - Pay your staff more - Sort out toxic management

Pros

Wealth of knowledge base and there is an underniable drive organisations know will transform every flowl, every activity across the process map

Cons

There is a strong shift away from Core HANA Finance BO. If qualtrix or Ariba or recent acquisition is fascintating to you, you'll never see the full suite of solutions integrated correctly.

Advice to Management

Rethink how integration is done following each acquisition. It must be more aggressive moving the acquired assets into the territories of the knowledgeable Customer Facing Execs who can credibly manage the new asset in the greater scheme of the S/4 Intelligent Enterprise. Now the story is confused.

Pros

SAP cares about it's people, has a good approach to CSR, and is conscious of taking care of the planet.

Cons

It's a complex place to work and sometimes processes get in the way.

Advice to Management

Keep simplifying.

Pros

Very customer and employee focussed culture ... and a sense of purpose!

Cons

Office locations and facilities in London are not the best ...
