Pros

The work-life balance is awesome, everyone goes home at 4pm without a question asked, it is managers' headache to deal with projects later. But usually they are covered by overestimate and by relaxed deadlines in general, so nothing to be worried about. If you don't feel like doing much you can chill out for years without being fired. Work from home was a thing even prior to pandemic, and it usually meant people won't be reachable during this time. Unlimited sick leaves is also great. This company is great for interns which they are actively hiring to work on projects for free, but also for seniors at the end of their careers. But if you are a young professional in the middle of your career you'd be better off elsewhere.

Cons

Hypocrisy is part of the company culture, management won't act up to what they are preaching. Total politics and cover-my-a approach on all levels. Friends and family are being hired as a normal practice. Technology oftentimes is not making up to competition, and I am not talking about ABAP here. But even with so called next-gen platforms SAP is already lagging behind, and every solution has tons of ugly legacy systems to integrate with

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.
