Pros

There are some really smart people at SAP although most are leaving

Cons

Mandated decisions about returning to offices are not discussed with managers before they are announced. No empowerment for managers who know how to get the best out of their employees. Constant changes that focused only on profitability and share price rather than employees. Employees are just a number and managers expected to enforce decisions that take the organisation back to the 1990s rather than creating a cloud first company.

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.
