Pros

above average salary everything is quite relaxed, no pressure, no extra hours Many extras like sport and fitness opportunities, company car, ... the company has a unique market position. Quite unlikely they get a real competitor any time soon

Cons

too many unskilled / unqualified employees most software seems to be completly broken (see first point) most problems are solved by pure manpower instead of using some brainpower Everybody seems to be fine with delivering broken and far too complex products. There seems to be no motivation or competence to engineer really good products.

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.
