SAP reviews

Too much manager politics Fake promises about H1B sponsorship by Manager

In my personal expereince, compensation is not aligned with other big tech companies and you have to be strategic in your career moves in order to gain meaningful compensation increases. SAP touts "future of work" as a strategic area but the working environment and policies are lagging compared to the industry. Board mandates passed down to local HR for implementation often make HR look like the bad guy when really we are just put in charge of operationalizing unpopular policy created by out-of-touch execs in Germany. In the US, there is a general resentment towards European colleagues as they get much better benefits and protections from their workers councils. The Europeans think that we are spoiled with high salaries when in reality this is a small consolation prize for the expenses that we incur (employee healthcare costs, student debt, affordable housing crisis, lack of public transportation, I could go on). The US usually gets the short end of the stick at SAP since we are expected to produce the most value for the company while simultaneously being the easiest to cut during times of layoffs and cut backs.
