Pros

Nice offices and free soda.

Cons

So much change happening here, that it's slows the pace of operations... But not because things are getting done... because of the enormous amount of technical and organizational debt. Things move glacially slow here in comparison to other companies in the greater Seattle area. Other business groups seem to want to drag their feet for others, so that it takes forever to get anything done... like they are afraid. Sadly, they promote people to people management roles that aren't fit for the position. It's clear that people are not vetted as people managers, or are not given proper training and monitored. Poor behavior here not only goes unchecked, but it's buried organizationally, HR is not much help. It's also impossible to move around the company, there is no support for those wanting to pivot to other roles, and most managers offer none or absolutely bare-bones career growth guidance through the SAP Talk system, which pays you only in lip service. I don't even think the company has values that are culturally circulated. The fact that I don't know these should concern you.

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.
