Pros

-Free hot lunch everyday and subsidized breakfast The food here rotates daily with various options each day. Can be delicious and not making/paying for lunch makes a huge difference to the pocket. -nice bright modern offices -casual dress -work from home (manager depending) -lovely co-workers, everyone is really nice. -onsite gym -great benefits package -flexi time: Real flexi time, not just flexi start/finish times like most companies. In SAP you just have to make sure you are in during core hours (10am-3:30pm mon-thurs & 10am-2:30pm Fri) and work your required hours around this. This is how flexi time should work! I was very lucky with my manager in SAP as she was genuinely caring and would let you follow any direction or idea you had. SAP is such a large company and heavily embedded in the industry that it won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Cons

Salary is extremely low compared to other sectors this is due to the MD wanting Ireland to be seen as a low-cost center to impress Head Office which has brought morale down significantly in the company. A lot of reorgs happen too often before they are properly thought out by upper management leaving employees in the dark and uncertain of their positions. Organisation structure is very confusing and ever changing. The company encourage employees to look at internal opportunities to move team however the interview process for internal hires is poorly run. Hiring managers not reading CVs no time to prepare for interviews. Managers & team leaders in the development teams lack people skills.

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.
