Pros

Employees are empowered by the company.

Employee benefits are good.

You have the option to explore various areas and technologies if you are interested (though a manager can overrule this).

You have many options and facilities to help with innovation and learning.

You can stay current with technology if you are interested, as there are many events and drives to facilitate this.

Cons
  • Inconsistent pay across levels.
  • Talents are not recognized well nor retained, but they are ready to do a new hire with a huge salary perk.
  • Most of the good, experienced resources are gone, and roadmaps are not that clear.
  • Lot of opportunities are available but at times restricted because of approval.
  • Work-life balance was really good once but does not apply to all teams right now.
  • Culture and values are not the same as they once were.
Advice to Management

Try to retain the good resources.

There are a lot of platforms where you can get to know the salaries that are being offered for new hires.

You cannot expect a 10-year-old person to guide and be more responsible for a 5-year-old person with a salary difference of 75% to 100%.

Also, for most of us, salary was never a concern, as there was a perk of working at SAP.

SAP's values and culture were really good and maintained once with all the good resources to guide next generations. But this is missing now.
