Q&A With SAP Concur Employees

Excellent. Taking vacations and time off is strongly encouraged.

Very good. The office is pretty flexible about working from home and vacation use.

Not bad. Depends on manager.

Excellent.

The vacation policy is very good people that have been here a while, more average for new workers.

Good. Four weeks.

Performance

Promotions are based on regular meetings with your manager and then interaction with your peers.

Very hard to get promoted. You must show that you go above and beyond and even then it is hard. Over weighted with Senior Managers and this makes it hard to move up.

Extremely high. Even during COVID, the Company looked out for us - higher pay, lower quotas, more vacation time.

Dropping.

Generally Pretty good

We really don’t talk about our CFO very often. When the subject does come up, positive comments are made.

We don't hear from the CEO much anymore.

Depends on if you're talking about the SAP CEO (Bill McDermott) or the President of Concur (Mike Eberhard). Concur is an SAP company. Both are great, specifically at motivating their employees. They also both come across as very personable. As far as improvement I don't really have one. However, I would mention that SAP is a massive Company and Concur is just a piece. As such, it can appear that Bill isn't always paying attention to Concur and / or that Mike doesn't have as much influence. While this isn't necessarily true, it can come across that way for some employees.

Pre COVID, 2 days WFH and 3 days in office (depending on sales segment). Post COVID, working in office is optional.

It depends on your manager! I’m remote and only work from home.

Extremely secure

pretty secure

The people and the pay

We are doing something new and cool. Its fun to see new technology get implemented and grow.

Very challenged

I'm very challenged, though not always fully empowered or recognized.

Fun, casual, friendly, competitive

Laid back, and open. Though engineers are not always very social.

The person who would be my Director. Heard back the next day.

Several peers, my future manager and my skip level manager. I heard back the same day for each of the next steps.

Very open!

Regular 1:1s are scheduled with manager and direct reports once a week or so. Those sessions are logged in a tool to track real time changes and coaching.

Be prepared and be yourself!

Be clear, know the position, and be ready to speak to specifics of your interview or the job description.

Fun fun and FUN!

There is often drinking and it tends to be open bar. They don't like to limit entertainment when they are out.

How comfortable are you with technology and applications like SalesForce, Gainsight, Tableau, PowerPoint etc

Not at all

Not hard. Concurians are very social.

Those with goals

Good engineers that understand how the company makes decisions and can navigate leadership well.

Desks and common areas and closed conference rooms and executive offices

We have the bottom half of the building in Bellevue. Many of the floors are interconnected by internal stairwells that are separate from the fire stairs. Most cubes are short wal. It is very much an Open concept office.

Have an employee refer you

Culture is huge at Concur. Being a good engineer is only half of the equation.

Client Development. New Business is struggling somewhat.

The fastest growing part is Asian expense. EU is 2nd to that.

Tons!

Not a lot. In sales, we mostly hire frat boys and sorority girls.

Extremely high. $140k-$650k annually.

Far below market

The vibe rocks! Working about 25-30 hours a week. Most work 35-45 hours a week.

It’s great if you’re someone who wants “work life balance” and doesn’t mind working alongside people who are largely inept and unimpressive

FUN! Helpful and always willing to share.

Unfortunately, standards for sales people at Concur are not what they once were.

Helpful, always focused on the success of each employee

Junior, inexperienced, lacking in skill and business acumen
