Why work for SAP?

Top Employee Response

It's an entrepreneurial environment that lets you mold your role and daily work much more than most companies. It's a really fast-paced environment that changes all the time, which means you're constantly learning something new and it's hard to get bored here. The culture is amazing, with the chance to work with people from all over the world (depending on your role), and people here don't 'hoard' knowledge - they share it... I've worked in 3 different areas of the organization so far, and the vast majority of people help each other out and want you to do well and succeed, from your peers to your managers. Managers here through the VP level are also "individual contributors" - so they're doing work, not just managing, and that keeps it real. And the company really invests in people - internships often turn into 10, 20, or 30 year careers. You can find jobs to live abroad, change careers, and make friends all over the world. Many people who leave end up coming back - even execs.

For most roles, reasonable work-life balance and flexibility (work from home, flex hours, etc.), reasonably good compensation (some areas better than others), good healthcare, 75% matching 401k (up to 6%), employee stock purchase program with 40% company match, long-term career growth and development opportunities - SAP prioritizes internal-hires for new openings, SAP embraces employee diversity, equal pay/equal opportunity, the company focuses on continuing to expand the percentage of women in leadership positions (currently ~25%, next target to hit 33% soon), and SAP isn't an 'evil company' - SAP has military veteran and autism spectrum hiring programs and the company supports many social programs, giving employees the opportunity to donate their time to support local charity and non-profit organizations (during work hours).
