Pros

Very virtual organization with frequent telecommuting. Family friendly. Competitive salaries.

Cons

Not innovative; very slow to make change and allot of internal resistance to change. Takes a strong internal network to accomplish goals across teams; spend more time on politics than working with customers. Building a career path as a middle manager is all about who you know. This approach means that its not a very diverse organization. The rhetoric is that diversity is key but the reality is just the opposite. Many employees are "lifers" who don't seek excellence, just a secure salary. Also in interviewing outside the company, SAP experience is not valued and you spend more time explaining why you stayed there vs what great work you have done.

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.
