Good compensation and benefits package

From my personal experience working in the SAP SuccessFactors Engineering department, I feel there is a huge, ongoing problem with diversity. Most of the Dev and QA management are Indian, as well as many of the team members they prefer to hire.

Many Indians get hired on the spot without going through the official interview process, simply because they are relatives or friends of those managers. This makes it difficult for other applicants to be considered for a position.

There is a lot of politics involved in processes, project assignments, promotions, etc.

The number of meetings during business hours, as well as non-business hours, is abnormal. Engineers can’t focus on their tasks because they are always distracted by meetings and have to catch up on projects at night.

Evening meetings do not contribute to a healthy work-personal life balance and take away quality family time.

It is proven by research that diverse teams produce better products. Please consider creating more diversity in the SFF Engineering team and revisit who gets appointed as managers to the Dev and QA Teams.
