Pros

- People are very very friendly and nice in general - Very chilled out environment ( Con for a young dude like me tho, I don't have kids and family to be chilled-out with, I need to pursue my dream!) - Pays higher than local companies in the area with 26$/hr - The office has amazing equipments for the employees, SAP cares for employee's health

Cons

- Not too Technical : It is not a company if you expect to learn a lot and try out many hot/sexy technologies. You have to follow SAP's technology stack which is very non-flexible and slow. SAP is also not mature for Cloud application development, they even have some stupid bugs that a high school student will be able to debug. I learnt nothing. - Laziness : Huge amount of leave requests on monthly average basis. Note, This is without working from home days and vacations. When you come to the office, some people are always chatting, drinking tea and talking about their dogs and cats. Some interns even call here "SPA" not "SAP" - No training, no culture shock at all : when you step into the office, no one will come and show you to get you introduced to the project, and let you know where they are at (I wonder if they know what they are doing neither). Everyone just stares at the screen, and do not want to be helpful unless you keep bugging them. This is not the case in my previous internships, there will usually be a mentor and senior engineer assigned to you and give you instructions. - Very traditional software company : no innovation is needed, do not give incentive to hard working fellows but to actors who come to the office 9-5 and sit there for meditation.

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.
