Pros

- good training programs - excellent benefits - opportunity to make a lot of money - excellent retirement plan - lots of resources to support your efforts

Cons

- a disfunctional, extremely hierarchal environment - many levels of management who are getting paid to perform administrative tasks and adding no value to improving customer experience or improving SAP sales - management has no desire to listen to the highly experienced employees they are willing to hire; dictates come down from above....often with no regard for the reality on the street and reality of SAP's own organization and limitations. - I believe SAP is far down its lifecycle curve; it will collapse from its own weight and inabiity to be agile enough in an enviroment that demands flexibility and insight. Best days are behind SAP

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.
