Pros

Good product set that works.

Cons

Sales micro management is off the charts. I am required to give comprehensive deal status reports once a week. But in addition, I get 20 calls and emails daily asking for updates. Sales Management is entirely focused on simple next closing steps, layers of managers are tripping over each other to have the very latest info. I'm a high performer, will make over $500k this year, again. I can leave an important meeting, take 3 or more calls from various managers within 2 hours, and be berated for not having updated our CRM system called Harmony.

Sorry you feel that way about the middle management. SAP values our employees’ opinions and we want you to feel empowered here without going through unnecessary layers or gatekeepers. We can only get better if you express this confidentially to HR Direct. SAP has trained employee relations experts willing and able to address this.

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.
