What they like about Business Objects (Sap):
A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.

Climbers' Joblogs at Business Objects (Sap):
What are you working on?
Recently I was working on testing a core functionality (Siperian, Inc). Working with the developer we where able to find better ways to test it. This enabled me to find many bugs that where not found during the patch release for this feature and I removed test cases that where not relevant. This gave me great satisfaction in being able to find bugs which the developer mentioned in the bug report that it was good catch. A comment from my Senior QA Manager said I was able to catch bugs that where not caught before. With this confirmation I felt happy that our customers will have a better product.What have you done to become more effective in your position?
To become more effective in my position, I purchase books on the subject I am testing, like Oracle PL/SQL, IBM Websphere and JBOSS, so I can become more familiar with functionality of the what Siperian Application is installed on. For the feature I am working on I usually study the Design Documentation if any, if not I work with the developer to get better insight into the functional aspects of the feature and how it works. My goal is to help the customer and to eliminate as much customer support calls that will be coming in as possible.Do you know what is expected of you at work?
If I do not know or if I am not sure what is expected, I will ask my manager to confirm what is expected of me. I want to make sure I am doing the job as I was hired. While on the job I will be part of a team where features and task are assigned. I would expect to go to project feature meetings, if any, and to participate in feature reviews of design specs, etc. I will also provide as part of the SDLC the Test Plan and Test Case sign-offs from the team, if any. If there are no features teams or design specs, etc, I will be at ease to work with the developer to understand the feature. I am self-managed and know what is expected. At times in lieu of the weekly project status, I will update my manager on what I am working on.
