- Non technical managers micromanaging technical employees
- Tech employees are treated like slaves
- Non-tech employees are respected more than engineers in a company built on software
- Too many acquisitions for tech staff to handle (and for non-tech staff to enjoy)
- More growth opportunities for non-tech (this is a downward spiral for SAP)
- High management to project ratio
- Focus is on development of business side while neglecting engineering
- Copying the "IBM" culture i.e. employees acting like they are over professional and formal when in reality managers are barking at techies because they themselves don't have a technical background
