Pros

Large company in the world

Cons

1. Messy management: Frequent changes of the management team. Wrong people in wrong positions. 2. Poor leadership: This results in a very high turnover rate. SAP is a respectable company, but it has seen talent escape as poor leadership threatens to dismantle the strong brand and local team developed by past, well-respected managers over many years. 3. Toxic culture: Complain, shout, and challenge with bias and emotion in meetings. 4. No career development. Lack of meaningful 1-1 and feedback on career development. They asked you to fill in the career plan on internal portal but no discussions. The development plan appears to be more of a to-do task for them, rather than a genuine effort to support your growth.

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.
