Software One Experts Employee Reviews & Ratings

Nothing as of now All well

none negative comments for this company

No Cons as such, however i have noticed in my tenure that R & R is not based on merit or tenure here. Given to new folks or people with good repo / contacts here

- Nothing negative until now

Can some time be inward looking and closed to new ideas

Too many processes for all

No, nothing as of now.

Lot of Politics involved for sustaining in growth race

no, all good, doing well

Haven't found any yet. The Company is constantly evaluating what can they do to improve and does put the necessary efforts on doing so.

So far I do not have any complains

Salary is a bit lower at the market

1.less pay. 2.work under pressure. 3.improper work assignment. 4.No proper learnings. 5.random work.

Frequently changed compensation plan and internal communication.

I think that each company has its challenges, and it is normal, in SoftwareONE Sometimes the processes are slow but being a global company it is understandable

Salary Organization time None None None

Leadership can sometimes be misled

Some processes need to be worked out, but they are slowly getting there always ways to improve. Overall nothing else to report.

For the office in Leipzig: - Office facilities could be made better since they feel a bit old-school e.g. kitchen, desks for work (are not height adjustable), chairs. - For a company of this magnitude and especially working in IT industry, sometimes there is a lack of modern methodologies being properly used in day to day life. Some processes need to be revised and modernized to match the standards of large international corporations.

May not provide a deep dive but you will be jack of all trades. Good compensation and rewards

The will to really change the company is not there. Many within the leadership team are below average. Women are disadvantaged.

I had an inexperienced manager take over a successful program. Our entire team left after a year. The manager ended up leaving as well. All in all, good experience in my previous 6 years working there. Horrible the last year only b/c of the manager hire.

Processes, quotas, resources, & CRM

1- Work related tools and process are inconsistent 2- Frequent trend of change-management amongst leader or manager 3- Massive lay-off after covid in the name of cost saving and merger so employment is at risk

Should have more benefits, the way to work depending of the leadear.

* lack of predictability, things are always changing * lack of accountability from the teams that help you sell * Hard to acquire new customers

Lack of a clear vision. Many contradictory messages come from executives about performance and results. ESG and DEI (while important) seem to eclipse the primary objectives of the company. Too much time and cost is wasted on taking these initiatives to an extreme. Leaders are afraid to have any real conversations with staff for fear of being reprimanded or punished (or saying the wrong thing), the social contract is being breached regularly by people who want to push their identity on everyone at the expense of their performance. Confusing layers of management. There is an endless maze of management layers and a highly confusing matrix which is leading to a lot of political infighting between regional leadership and global business unit heads. Too many people are unclear who they are accountable too. Decision making has become slow and tedious. Performance isn't a priority. Merit doesn't seem to count and there is an over-emphasis on process and tools. Many leaders and peers are expressing disillusionment. People are given too much freedom, then when management doesn't like the results, they implement large scale restrictions instead of dealing directly with the poor performers. There has been so many shifts in organizational structure and operating model, it seems as though executives and leaders are constantly reversing course and going back on decisions. Certain regional leaders are hyper-aggressive and very political to a detriment - leadership insecurity and low awareness of behaviour seem to be constant. Employees are left to try and figure out what direction to take without any guidance (if they go with a Global recommendation, they feel they are going against the region, but if they go with the region, they are going against global).

Can better their performance bonus ratio

Too much of a workload, no work-life balance

it takes time to get promotion

Salaries are not standard for people with the same role and time of employment. Caju benefit do not raise.

There is no downside to work here

We sell alot. We need to refocus on our core lines of business

Decreased bonuses after a leadership transformation. Lost their local management due to global decision. Hybrid is no longer an option.

- Teams are changed constantly - Company does good financially despite letting people go

Chaos and too much change

- Slow promotions - Avg. salary increment

There are no cons. The company is awesome.

You often need to work outside of your scope of work.

I don't have any cons to share

Comp not on par with similar companies

I didn't find any cons

Them not using Salesforce is a real issue. Each team had different ways of building pipelines, with our manager utilizing an impressive Excel sheet she created due to the lack of a proper CRM provided by salesforce. Although her solution was resourceful, it was not a true CRM and felt somewhat unprofessional for such a large company. When I started, they promised a completed CRM by January, but seasoned employees joked that it had been in development for 8 years, leading to skepticism. Furthermore, they don't seem to be a true value-added reseller (VAR). They haven't built relationships with smaller organizations, likely because they relied heavily on Microsoft for income for years. Now they're playing catch-up and are significantly behind. Finally, their outdated system makes fulfilling orders cumbersome and time-consuming, taking up to 45 days. In my previous company, orders needed to be closed within a week, resulting in disciplinary action if not accomplished.

environment at work it is sometimes not healthy

No rewards or appreciation shown publicly

- career progression is not clear

Very old-school toolset, processes and ways of operating and thinking.

No so much rules and standards

Under the new CEO, SoftwareOne has experienced a neutering. It is cultural sterilization. Don't ask questions, just operate in fear. They should rename this company from SoftwareOne to SAP2. Everyone being hired is from SAP and friends with the CEO from there.

changed policies that were promised as the quarters went on, always changing processes and was hard to get in a sales routine, not as understanding of personal matters
