Business outlook
Pros
The vast majority of colleagues are skilled, highly collaborative, and strive to make the company successful. Salary and benefits are decent.
Cons
I was proud to work for SAP for a long time, but the culture in recent years has shifted to an exclusive focus on maximizing the stock price and reducing financial rewards (e.g., RSUs), with little regard for employee morale. While the US is the largest market, there have been mass layoffs here each year, focused on older workers and higher salaries. Replacement roles are at lower salary bands and are usually backfilled in India. Power and decision-making have become highly centralized in Germany, with strategy changing each year to follow the latest advice from McKinsey.
