What was the interview process like?<br />
<strong>The</strong> process was fairly challenging<br />
but enjoyable because everyone is so<br />
welcoming that it gave me a good insight<br />
into what working at SAP would look like.<br />
How much responsibility do you have?<br />
Throughout the year as you build trust<br />
with your team, you are given more<br />
responsibility. For instance, I have a very<br />
trusting relationship with the management<br />
team in my department and that enables<br />
me to work on confidential projects.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> whole culture at SAP<br />
encourages you to work within<br />
dynamic teams and build a<br />
strong network.”<br />
What do you most enjoy about your<br />
role?<br />
Working collaboratively with a variety<br />
of different people to solve the<br />
unpredictable business challenges that<br />
arise.<br />
What advice would you give to<br />
students applying for your role?<br />
Be prepared and willing to take on<br />
unexpected challenges that will come<br />
your way, because the IT industry is<br />
very fast paced and change is always<br />
challenging for organisations – being<br />
involved in that is always exciting.<br />
What has been your biggest<br />
challenge?<br />
Recognising people’s expectation of your<br />
work capacity – you aren’t expected to<br />
complete everything that comes your<br />
way. Be empowered to say no and don’t<br />
overwhelm yourself.<br />
What is the office atmosphere like?<br />
I work within a very friendly and<br />
welcoming team and the atmosphere<br />
in the office reflects that. <strong>The</strong> whole<br />
culture at SAP encourages you to work<br />
within dynamic teams and build a strong<br />
network.<br />
How promising are the graduate<br />
prospects?<br />
Very promising, early talent is a major<br />
priority for a lot of organisations, SAP<br />
included. If you consciously work towards<br />
that and prove how you can add value to<br />
the organisation then there is no limit to<br />
your opportunities.<br />
@RateMyPlacement I’ve had an<br />
incredible year at @SAPUKIreland. <strong>The</strong><br />
opportunities I have had within the Digital<br />
Business Services team have exceeded my<br />
expectations – I would highly recommend a<br />
placement with SAP to anyone looking for a<br />
challenge<br />
