SAP reviews

I was with Sybase prior to the SAP acquisition. This was the Sybase Corporate office and we were "the center of the universe" as far as the company was concerned. SAP is headquartered in Germany so we are now on the very edge of the universe as far as the company is concerned and it was very difficult to get put on any meaningful projects. The company is also going through a major change in that they're moving more to the cloud which means less IT staff is needed. The combination of these two scenarios caused our entire 8 man team to be terminated after 14 or 15 ears of working at Sybase/SAP.

Your experience will vary based on the department for which you work. Some are very well managed and value employees, giving them freedom to implement new ideas while maintaining consistent goals and appropriate direction. Others are very poorly managed, seemingly providing misdirection to their workers and making every task much more difficult then it need be. There is also the issue of internal politics. Don't take on a management role unless you are ready to spend 95% of your time playing this game.
