Pros

- Good compensation package - Top-notch health benefits - Free lunch - Relaxed environment - Nice people to work with - Good location, close to downtown Montreal

Cons

- Developers are told what to do, very little opportunity to innovate. - Outdated technology: ABAP, In-house tools and frameworks. - Lots of legacy code, extremely difficult to find information. - No standards, no documentation, code quality is horrible. - Source code repository? What is that? - Repetitive boring tasks - Promotions are very infrequent due to the flat hierarchy

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.
