Pros

- You learn a lot about different technology, especially in the SAP ecosystem - Room to grow in the company - Great place to work towards a certain title and then go somewhere better - Some really great people - Good benefits - Travel is plentiful if it's something you are looking for

Cons

- Culture of fear, distrust, and borderline surveillance (managers keeping tabs on everyone's time coming and leaving, monitoring chat logs, etc.) - White males excel and receive constant promotions and praise. Women and POC tend to not move forward as much. No explicitly discriminatory behavior, just trends. - Tries to be independent, but is actually held on a pretty tight leash by SAP. - Leadership can be very sensitive to feedback in that they get offended and angry. - Turnover is very high.

Thank you for your feedback. First, I appreciate that you shared the “pros” and opportunities that are available to our team—there is a lot to learn here, there are so many great people, and there’s amazing potential for those who are invested in our organization and its mission. My team has and continues to strive toward offering career-building experiences and growth opportunities for all of our employees as we execute on our mission to help ASUG members make more possible. There are numerous and recent examples of employees taking on new challenges and expanding their skillsets in new roles. In addition, we created a Diversity and Inclusion Council that’s spearheaded by our employees, who volunteered to serve on the council and bring together a range of experiences and backgrounds. All of us are very excited about this important initiative. As an organization, we have embraced the values we created as a group, and we strive to live them every day in service of our customers. This has been especially true in 2020, as we have rallied around our values and each other during these times of great change and uncertainty. There’s always room for improvement, and we will continue to work toward achieving our goals and living our values in 2020 and beyond. Geoff Scott CEO, ASUG

Pros

Lunch and Snacks Nice office space Walkable area

Cons

- This company could've been a Facebook Group. Founded in 1991 and they are still functioning as if it's 1991. Decisions are driven by meetings and personal rapport rather than strategy or data. - Young people get paid less and work more. Often picked for high-output roles, then paid less, their limited professional experience being the excuse while the company leverages their fresher, wider skillset. - Bottom-up ideas? Dead on arrival. Middle managers exist to execute the CEOs ideas, and seldom provide feedback or pushback for the sake of maintaining their position - There's no growth here. High turnover. - The modern digital landscape requires adaptability and vision that simply aren’t reflected in current leadership practices. -
