Pros

- Many perks including lunch card (taxable income) and gym on site - Other coworkers are often nice people

Cons

- Culture of complacency - Management is on aggressive delivery schedule and that trickles down to employees, however, compensation and employee treatment is not nearly at a level where employees feel like they will be rewarded for working hard - Salary is comparatively low in relation to similar companies - No room for growth, either career-wise or salary-wise. Starting salary is reasonable, but does not grow very much down the line (think logarithmic growth)

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.
