Pros

Significant opportunities to learn, with an innovation direction and strong technical innovation capability. CEO is inspiring but not humble.

Cons

Archaic leadership culture, no real sense of what makes a good people leader- this is the major area of focus needed by SAP. Still quite hierarchical, with many old school autocratic leaders lacking vision but excessively busy with tactical actions. Lots of talk about the future of work and new structures but in action used a 30 yr ok approach to reorganizing instead of innovating how to do this humanly - could have been a think tanked opportunity to demonstrate real leadership and done it differently. What a missed opportunity! Too many reorganization allow mediocre leaders with a new boss each year to be overlooked in their lack of real contribution.

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.
