Pros

- Industry-leading software solution - Awesome company history - Great office location - Friendly co-workers

Cons

- Executive leadership is severely disconnected from the market development day-to-day - Constant change in processes, tools, and compensation with grossly inadequate change management from that leadership team - Executive leadership is clearly motivated by increasing its sphere of influence and does not actually understand how to properly lead the larger organization (if everything is always changing, I guess it’s harder for folks outside of the organization to ask questions) - Clear favoritism displayed by those same leaders for teams in specific offices - Executive Leadership is not interested in retaining top management talent and is happy to “cut bait” if it means getting their way - It's clear that those leaders are purely interested in supporting and enhancing their own image without any regard for the backs on which they achieve their success

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.
