Pros

SAP being a 40 year old Enterprise Software company offers a very stable work environment. SAP Labs is the R&D division of the company. Work is interesting, as we keep exploring new opportunities to build new features and products. The culture is consensus oriented. There is not too much of hierarchy.

Cons

Depending on which part of the organization you are in, the nature of work can vary dramatically. SAP has seen tremendous success with its ERP applications. But, success has been far and few in other areas. The company is trying to reinvent itself in areas of Cloud and Mobility. Do not expect to work on the latest and greatest of technologies. Speed of innovation has been another challenge. Things tend to move slow, and the focus is usually on delivering a near perfect solution rather than something quick and good enough.

Pros

Great company when I joined 21 years ago, and awesome management.

Cons

After moving to the West region and after having two great managers, it went downhill. All the management in West only cares about individuals who are yes folks.

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.
