Pros

Good benefits package (US); unique enterprise software solutions; great customer footprint; many internal opportunities (although limited to lower career levels)

Cons

Company has grown too big; countless acquisitions (to increase cloud revenue) have taken a toll on customers and employees (loss of core values and culture); senior executives from “outside” (Mala Anand) with very limited SAP product/industry experience; unclear/missed cloud strategy leading to mass layoffs

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.
