The Role
My experience at SAP was very enjoyable and valuable.
I received a warm welcome from all employees and had a chance to form some positive relationships with co-workers over the 8 weeks.
I received very constructive and supportive guidance from my supervisor.
I always had tasks to be getting on with, varying with different levels of difficulty.
I felt I had an adequate amount of responsibility during my placement, I was pleased with the opportunities I was given.
My placement at SAP helped me a great deal in my final year of University. It also helped my secure a graduate career with a global consulting firm.
The Company
Friendly and positive.
As I was the first of my type to be given an 8 week placement at SAP some things could have run smoother. But on the whole the placement was very well managed.
I was given the opportunity to learn software packages that SAP use which was very useful.
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
There are opportunities for future employment prospects within SAP, however more industry experience seems to be required initially.
The Culture
Yes, fellow placement colleagues were very friendly and sociable.
