Pros

Job security guaranteed, even if you will be laid off - significant compensation would be offered as well as opportunities to be integrated into other projects. Management are friendly, HR trying to be creative about improvement of working conditions, initiatives are welcome.

Cons

A lot of program management bureaucracies, most of profits are still generated by main business e.g. legacy R3 systems. As result of blind obligations to backward compatibilities, any serious reform of main software is failing, competitive power falling off last decade. Agile on a paper was implemented but as result, amount of bureaucrats increased instead of intended decrease.

Thank you for your review. We encourage everyone at SAP to ask questions. If you believe there’s room for improvement and too much bureaucracy in the way, think about how that can be improved. At SAP, our leaders let our employees make decisions. We believe it is the secret to a fast career progression and minimizing cogs in the wheel. So while we are sorry to hear of this case, we encourage you to take it upon yourself to break it

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.
