Pros

Nice perks, like a cafeterias at the big offices. Also on-site gym & dry cleaning available. Relatively easy to work from home when necessary since communications are often via email and conference calls.

Cons

There is a collaborative decision making model, which sounds nice, but it's unclear who has what authority because every project is different. For example, sometimes your boss saying yes doesn't make another team help out when you need them. And if you didn't contact executive X until too late, then they might not want to help you. Overall, it's hard to get be on the cutting edge of anything because so many people have to be involved with the decisions. And little things like budgeting is difficult, you manage your budget offline in Excel because accessing the system isn't always accurate or up to date, it takes 2 weeks to get a purchase order open and over a month to get vendors paid. I came to SAP through acquisition, and after the merger, I felt my career took a big step backward because half my job was getting all of the little things in line to get something complete.

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.
