Pros

SAP is big, and will stick around. Much depends on the manager: does she / he take care of the team members, or strictly manage up for own career goals. I have experienced both, and if you are lucky, this will be a great company to work for. The company's willingness to move to cloud is there, with considerable investment to implement change: which is amazing to observe and be part of. In general, the US offices are good facilities to work, working from home is mostly not an issue.

Cons

SAP is big, and moves slow. Change is managed by huge teams, with an emphasis on 'manage', not getting it done. At least in the US, SAP embraces the hire/fire mentality: if a team becomes obsolete in the eye of a VP, there's no support for individual team members to find alternative positions within the company: no matter how experienced, talented and skilled these people are, how long they have been with the company. No sanity check by HR. As a result, loyalty is heavily affected, especially among the younger generations.

Pros

I really liked my role at SAP. After being a cloud Customer Success Manager supporting strategic clients for several years, I moved into a group doing digital customer outreach including producing newsletters, release enablement, webcasts, documentation, event registrations, etc. Salary and bonuses were good, no complaints there.

Cons

No real cons for the job that I was in, except that our group was eliminated by the corporate restructuring and reduction in workforce in North America in 2025. I would have loved to stay but unfortunately we probably showed up on a restructuring spreadsheet somewhere and it was determined that our services were no longer needed. We off-boarded most of our work to other existing employees (who already had full time jobs), which felt unfair to them, but that is how it shook out.
