Bangalore

Current Employee – been working at SuccessFactors full-time for more than a year

ProsHas a very good and informal work culture. This is in engineering and I am not sure, if this is the same in other groups. The product development life cycle is structured such that it works like clock work. Come hell or high water, releases happen on time.

ConsVery hectic in some product groups. The product development life cycle is structured such that, there is hardly any time left from one release to another release

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue with the small company culture, even after the integration with SAP

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at SuccessFactors

Prossome of the best people are here that you would like to work with. The company is ideal for a person who loves to face challenges all the time and who is a self-starter.

ConsIt has its own downside but given time, it can improve. Things are changing and changing for good.
Work life and personal life balance is definitely affected but it is upon each individual to manage that.

Advice to Senior ManagementDefine career growth better and start guiding early. Programs need to be initiated to let us know why we are here and why we should be here for years to come. how we affect company and what company thinks about us and our carer growth and interest

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
