Pros

Big company name (especially with SAP) and overly inflated titles look great on your resume Great benefits

Cons

This is a culture of lies, fear and manipulation. The mantras are plastered all over every wall with things like "No A-holes." The company (and management) does not practice what they preach and, until the CEO quit, we were constantly berated at "town hall meetings" and by company-wide emails with the constant message - if you are unhappy here, leave. You are simply disgruntled and we don't want you here. There is no open mindedness towards change for the better or the "Kaizen" culture they claim to have. In fact, punishment abounds in this world of fear. Nearly every employee in the place has been the subject of some form of reprimand. There is high turnover in upper management, which is very unsettling. People at all levels don't seem to stay in any position for more than 6 months before either leaving for something else, or being moved to another functional area. Entire teams are disbanded on a whim and there is no certainty about who does what. This type of CONSTANT organizational change creates an environment of zero responsibility. Work-from-home is selectively applied, even within teams. Work-life balance only exists if you count "carrying your work phone around with you and constantly being on call" a balance. You can expect to work late nights and weekends. "Unlimited paid vacation" simply means that you're not actually entitled to any vacation, except at the whim and will of your manager. Despite growing revenues, everyone in the company suffers from "not enough resources" to do the job correctly. There is a company-wide culture of "something is better than nothing," which, if you believe in having pride in your work, will be a challenge for you.

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.
