Pros

Offers great benefits that match most companies in Silicon Valley and lunch is free! Management supports newcomers very well and make them feel appreciated. Executive is very fun to listen to and some personalities are relatable, especially after reading Bill McDermott's book. Compensation is generally above average. The company is very fast paced at least in the SV location so you get to learn a lot. Company parties are very well planned also.

Cons

Not much stock options or opportunities for large bonuses for newcomers. The 401k plan could be better. Campus in SV is huge so hiking across buildings during hot days is rough, but they do offer a shuttle. Gym isn't that nice.

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.
