Right now, the SAP I love looks very different. From my perspective, global leadership's attitude has been essentially, "Shut up and do what I say." They don't understand or care about how our internal processes work. They've forced us to roll out solutions that aren't ready for customers, or solutions that customers don't even want. In order to meet their deadlines, we have to implement complex manual workarounds to get the job halfway finished. To be fair to current global leadership, SAP's processes were complicated before. Unfortunately, selling has always been the primary goal. We have a poor track record of actually delivering quality service. But the current pressures we're facing are making things worse. Add all of the COVID complications, and now you have a place that really isn't fun to work.
Though SAP's pledge of inclusion is admirable, it is not always practiced. Hiring practices can be elitist. To be frank, leadership is primarily white men and high caste Indian men. Our current Board is all white, mostly German, and only has one woman (there will be two when 2021 starts). Our first female Co-CEO—a loyal, beloved member of SAP—"parted ways" with the company less than a year after she was appointed.
Overall, I am disappointed in the current state of the company. I think it has potential to be a great company, but not with the current people in charge.
If you want to make the company a better place to work, then please join us. If you're just looking for a job, I recommend looking elsewhere.
