Pros

SAP boasts a strong brand presence primarily due to its renowned ERP system, which serves as the foundational platform for many big organizations.

Cons

The sales organization relies solely on Excel, leading to significant data issues exacerbated by frequent layoffs and restructuring. Trust in the data is severely compromised. Meritocracy is non-existent; instead, nepotism flourishes within the company culture. The absence of genuine leaders has resulted in a vacuum, with only managers remaining, clinging to their Excel sheets. They oversee operations and unjustly claim credit for the innovations of the few remaining trailblazers within the company.

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.
