Pros

employee centric, work-life balance, freedom, collaboration, free lunch, global bonus pool program, company brand name, smart people, global presence

Cons

politics, cross board area alignment is off, communication is weak, no transparency, too much game playing and empire building, many lifers whose skills are not relevant, young talents are not trained properly, inexperienced management, lack Silicon Valley culture (agile, can-do, win/win mindset, entrepreneurship, passion, set people up for success), frequent re-orgs cause low morale

Thank you for taking the time to give a review. It is good to hear that you like working with smart people, the global presence, and the work-life balance. But, I am sorry that your experience at SAP has more cons than pros. That said, I am thankful that you took the time to share your opinion here so I and others who work on this can reflect on it and think about ways we can adapt and do more to ensure you and others feel valued, have more clear communications, set up better training, and minimize politics. From my personal experience, I feel confident that I was hired because of my skills. I was fortunate to have found a win/win for me professionally and personally. I like my leaders because they are smart, transparent, positive, and open to trying new things which motivates me. But I can understand with nearly 77,000 employees we have your situation and mine (the good and the bad). However, I just hope we have more of the good (don't we all?!!). Either case, the more we talk about it the better we can be. We can evaluate and improve. So, thank you again for providing a review and I can promise you that we will discuss this review and address an action plan. It might not change overnight, but I am hopeful we can make a change because of your feedback.

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.
