Pros

SAP is changing to a cloud based company and have made several acquisitions over the past couple of years. They have great products and a solid strategy for the future, however they need to improve on execution. Compensation and benefit are competitive and given all mentioned so far, should be a great place to work.

Cons

Unfortunately this is not the case for SAP Canada as it has a punitive, demoralizing and individualistic culture. Recently in a town hall meeting, the MD acknowledged that there is a personnel problem as so many people are leaving the company (even with tenures such as 18 years) as of late. Rather than look into the problem, his statement was "we have hired great management lately" which is not the root of the issue. SAP does not have a hiring problem, they have a retention problem. People are leaving for good reasons, so take the time to understand why. SAP does not do any exit interviews and all the leaving employees are required to complete is one online survey question with a multiple choice response as to why they are leaving. People are recognized for the wrong behavior and are promoted for equally inappropriate reasons. A top sales professional does not necessarily make a great manager or leader, in fact the culture is so individualistic that there is a lack of teamwork. I have seen people abused in sales meetings, expected to perform without any coaching or guidance and thrown out from the company after less than a year.

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.
