Pros

I came over from SuccessFactors. SuccessFactors was an incredible experience. Great money, work/life balance, and you felt like you made a difference. Over the last year SuccessFactors has been completely taken over by SAP, which has killed the culture

Cons

I am in Sales at SAP. Sitting here on April 3rd 2015 our group STILL DOES NOT HAVE ITS COMPENSATION PLAN. If you are from one of the companies they acquired you will not be treated right. Internal system are awful. You will be forced to use SAP's technology for your daily job and its absolutely mind numbing that companies buy some of this technology. I was lucky to hit quota last year, but only 10% of the SF field reps made their quotas last year. SAP's slogan is "RUN SIMPLE", but if you are working here expect the exact opposite. One last thing.....Last year they told us we would not get commissions until May, which ended up being August. We literally did not get our first commission check until August. They pulled the same thing again this year. As of right now we are being told that the first commission check for 2015 biz will not come until May....my guess is they will continue to drag this out. All of this information is accurate and true....I hope this helps.

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.
