Pros

This review and the ratings are only for Globalization Leadership which has nothing to do with other SAP pillars which are undoubtedly the best places to work at. If you are a prospective candidate for a globalization project, you should go through the Cons atleast once!

Cons

1. Top to bottom, except a few, every person in leadership plays politics. 2. Priority given to people from a specific state of the country 3. Inexperienced people are made managers who have least idea how to manage resources and have "ZERO" people skills and think the resources are just "MACHINES" 4. Some managers expect employees to work for stretched hours to deliver the "Undeliverable" 5. Managers take more commitments than their teams can deliver; consequently pressurizing and forcing the team to work for more hours to please the bosses! 6. Undue favour shown to people from specific region/state of the country. 7. Everything happens only by politics / networking / pampering your boss. 8. You will get good annual ratings, only if you can fill your boss ears with bad gossips about others (leg pulling), stay longer in office, no matter you work or not! 9. Management is least bothered about your expertise; interest in any topic; you have to work on whatever technology they say! Advice to any prospective candidate: If the prospective project is in Globalization; and if you are not good at pampering managers, then don't join the team!

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.
