Pros

I am a Senior Lead Software Engineer for the EIM team for the Server component of SAP Data Service and SAP Information Steward products. I have the opportunity to train and mentor junior engineers to help increase their skill set. SAP also has some of the best benefit packages I have seen, sure we could always ask for more but those would be trivial items and not really needed.

Cons

Training and mentoring have always been mentioned for growth, but most the time it is a learn as you go. This makes you a follower, as you end up 'following the others' and makes it more difficult to be a true leader.

Wow, thank you for taking the time to share this with us. We love your enthusiasm still after working with us for 8 years. Congrats to you! The benefits we offer our employees do make us proud, but you and the rest of the SAP family deserve it! We wanted to check if you know that we have thousands of certified coaches and mentors in our database?

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.
