It's not perfect, but it's pretty great here
Pros
- Well-organized and clear top-down communication on goals and vision - Stable business growth with sound strategic investment in the future - Maximum flexibility when it comes to work hours and working from home - Plenty of opportunities to move around within the company, which is encouraged - Focus on employee development - Great benefits (health benefits, free lunch, generous vacation and employee support resources, focus on giving back to the local community) - Environmentally sustainable (and beautiful!) campuses and socially responsible business practices - Reasonable work/life balance within the marketing organization, and most others within the company. - Diverse and inclusive culture I think it's telling that many people who leave often come back or wish to. It also says a lot about a company in Silicon Valley when many employees have been there for 10+ years. SAP is a great company to work for and I feel privileged to work here!
Cons
- Difficult to keep demand gen skills sharp because SAP marketing is not as innovative and cutting edge as leaner organizations - Q1-Q2 can be travel- heavy as T&E budget usually gets cut off in 2H - Frequent re-orgs can be challenging to get used to - Any large company can be difficult to navigate and learn who's who. - Compensation is pretty rigid. It's fair but don't expect large pay increases. You can definitely make more elsewhere but the benefits make up for this drawback.
