HR wanted a Feedback-Interview, they choose me because I am new (first job as a Developer).
They wanted the pros/cons from my perspective and how to get more people into the company.

There was nothing bad that I could have said about the company, I really had to watch out so it doesnt sound like I wanna crawl into someones ass.
It changed when we talked about programming itself...

I am a ABAP Developer, we are developing with the EWM Extension. If you dont happen to know what I am talking about then you didnt miss a thing. Documentation feels like its not existend, the language is made to be red like Text for easy use but does a terrible job at that, the standard editor that you have to use lacks a ton of usefull features, the standard functions and classes that you HAVE to use are not structured well and need to be debugged to know how to use them, and and....

There is much more, but if the company wouldnt be so damn nice, I might have wanted to go away already.

ABAP: Advanced Business Application Programming.
EWM: Extended Warehouse Management.

    yeah, unfortunately this piece of software is still huge and powerful enough to run the ewm for huge companies, so far it barely has any competition.

    @mentalhijack its gonna be "interesting". The best piece of advice I can give you is that you should use the standard SAP/EWM functions whenever you can. They are sometimes impressively stupid but out of experience I can tell you that the Projects that mainly built Z-Solutions are all terrible.
    Create new Tables/classes/transactions when there is no other way but dont do it because it seems convenient and easy.

    Trust me, If you know SAP really well you are going to feel like a god (sometimes at least), because you are going to be one! (happens rarely and for a short time)

    Edit: I red my old post again, much has changed xD
