Vantaggi
You will work with brilliant minds. In the first 18 months you will receive a lot of training. CoE and Message Solving promote on the basis of merit, and nothing else. Generally supportive culture amongst employees. Middle Management are hardworking, and put in long hours. Located on SW edge of Dublin. Rent is reasonable, in the area, but availaibility is not existent. It is healthier and cheaper than much of the rest of Dublin. Excellent opportunities for growth and development. You will learn a lot in five years. But it can be very hard work. Your background does not count, only your intellect and workrate - in the CoE, and Message solving. In the other departments, I do not know.
Svantaggi
Pay. SAP IRL is no longer in the top tier of "Great places to work" because of pay, and pressure in the two largest units. This is usually a predictor of a staff losses in the following year. Promoting staff to promotion levels, and then not paying them the minimum salary levels for that promotion level. In 2018, the average pay rise in the CoE was 2.9%. The increase in pressure in the 12 months previous was much greater than this number. In the CoE, training is classified as Non-Productive. This is a first for a German company.
