Pros

Good work atmosphere. No entry-exit times. Good work-life balance. Everyone outside tells you that they also want to work at SAP someday.

Cons

Very socialistic. After high performance for so many years, I am paid almost equally to average performers. If you kill the incentive to perform well, you automatically produce more non-performers. Why can't you, HR and managers, understand?

Every salary cycle, I am told, "We will fix your salary next year."

They have some stupid compa ratio according to which I was paid low last year. Now I have moved to mid-level pay according to my band and experience, even after a minimal hike. Quite funny.

Freshers from college and people with 3-5 years of experience have very little salary difference.

Some stupid bonus calculation resulted in everyone getting their bonus reduced to 83.4%. The co-CEOs had a 40% hike last year; they wouldn't have realized this cut.

Low hikes are given because attrition is low.

Advice to Management

Stop trying to fool employees.

Follow the SAP Passions.

Pay the top performers better.
