Pros

Stable large company Free food Nice campus

Cons

The manager of my team, head of emerging technologies, big data IoT was an absolute joke. Never have I come across someone so pathetically under skilled and yet allowed to maintain a stronghold of running a team. The manager didn't know anything about technology except how to rise up the management ranks. Entire teams of people there know nothing and accomplish nothing.

Thank you for the input. We agree leadership should be inspiring and right for the job, and we remain focused to maintain strong leadership at our company. SAP values our employees’ opinions and we want you to feel empowered here without going through unnecessary layers or gatekeepers. We can only get better if employees express this confidentially to HR Direct in the future.

Pros

Stable customer base and growth. Free lunches. No hire and fire policy. Good work life balance

Cons

Absolutely no career growth. Managers dont promote hard working individuals. Slow HR processes There is no salary correction for existing employees who came in at lower pay. Some are lucky to get good salaries. Management is like mafia. Lot of empire building Management does not care about building good products and selling. Its more about their own personal agenda. Too many layers of middle management Acquired companies such as Ariba and Successfactors have ego problems and do not want to hire candidates within SAP Slow decision making by management There is no accountability

Pros

There are a handful of Palo Alto executives who are world class leaders. smart people that understand technology, business, and enterprise software. They also get Silicon Valley and understand which methodologies and innovations can and should be adapted and adopted into a huge, global, company. That same handful strive to make SAP a great place to work while striving to make SAP SV (Silicon Valley) relevant.

Cons

The fact that a few seasoned leaders must re-assure a huge population of incredibly talented individuals that Silicon Valley is "relevant" and "important" to SAP, offers insight to the nature of the company.
