Pros

1. SAP brand - Access to SAP, SAP technologies, learn from across SAP and its subsidiaries. All employees have the ability to move within SAP and be part of a new team. 2. Ability to work on your own schedule and also flexibility to work from home. 3. Good employee benefits 4. Great people to work with, everyone is really helpful and supportive 5. Job is highly stable and reliable 6. Great learning opportunity initially.

Cons

1. The pay is sub-standard, compared to bay area's standard salary for software developer. 2. Most importantly, the immigration policies are really bad. SuccessFactors and SAP is not very employee-friendly with respect to immigration. 3. Too many changes in the upper management has caused lack of direction to the company's vision. All the good people have left the company. 4. Managers and directors are fairly new and need extensive training. 5. No growth in the long run - if you are an entry level developer/QA, there is absolutely no growth here. Everyone in the team is lead/manager/director. Most of the development work is done from outside USA, from low cost centers. So don't settle at SuccessFactors, move to the SAP umbrella such as SAP, Ariba, Concur, Lumira, etc.

Pros

Great solutions, leading position in a high-demand market, lots of R&D spend via SAP

Cons

SAP has completely integrated SuccessFactors into their corporate culture and it's been a challenging transition to say the least. The management team has almost been completely turned over and filled with SAP suits. No one hesitates to throw someone else under the bus in order to look good or deflect negativity from executives. Corporate culture barely exists any longer. SAP can't get out of their own way.

Pros

Offers great benefits that match most companies in Silicon Valley and lunch is free! Management supports newcomers very well and make them feel appreciated. Executive is very fun to listen to and some personalities are relatable, especially after reading Bill McDermott's book. Compensation is generally above average. The company is very fast paced at least in the SV location so you get to learn a lot. Company parties are very well planned also.

Cons

Not much stock options or opportunities for large bonuses for newcomers. The 401k plan could be better. Campus in SV is huge so hiking across buildings during hot days is rough, but they do offer a shuttle. Gym isn't that nice.

Thank you for your 5-star review! We try to listen to and adapt as a result of our early talents, and to be a part of SAP means to drive the future of business. Early talents will play an integral role in SAP becoming THE cloud company, after all :)
