Pros

Strong HR principles and takes good care of employees. Takes risks with forward looking project management practices like lean principles. Very strong work ethics and very fair and safe work environments. Everyone is extremely professional, takes constructive criticisms individually and collectively very well. Good work life balance. Very nice work environment and near Google level office (in ergonomics, not playfulness).

Cons

Unambitious and puts 40 people to work on something for a year that you think you can do it yourself in a month. Have the willpower and skills to do much more than your post? Tough luck. Rigid hierarchy. Managers eat among themselves. You will never be proud of what you create or showcase it to your friends. As entreprise software, design and UI will always be absolutely abysmal. Individual opinions or ambitions don't matter. Raises are meaningless.

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.
