Pros

very good work life balance; work doesn't keep you very busy so good place if you want to pursue any external interests, hobbies, goals.; good brand value for CV.

Cons

Tendency to get locked in comfort zone too easily; un-challenging work many times; bureaucratic decision making; difficult for career growth due to size of organisation; usually get to work on a very tiny piece of project due to atomic division of work among too many team members; salary disproportionate to the brand value; no on-site projects/visits; too many re-orgs; less importance to empoyee's career 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.
