Pros

Great pay, benefits, and vacation (start at three weeks, get a fourth week after 3 years, and a fifth after 5 years). Stock purchase plan, commuter reimbursement, lunch at one of the offices and daily snacks at the other, social events, weekly on-site yoga classes. There's flexibility in terms of working remotely, and work life balance is prioritized. If you're just getting started in your career there are lots of intern opportunities, as well as an intern community with their own events. Diversity is embraced. The male to female ratio is off, but that's typical in tech ... however, there's the Business Women's Network that both women and men are encouraged to participate in. As for the work itself, there are teams working on a range of different products. Also, change is pretty much the norm and there's always something new to learn.

Cons

SAP's head office is in Germany, and that's where the majority of the leadership opportunities reside, at least for my line of work (user assistance development, aka technical writing). So if you're ambitious, you may find after a while that you can only go so far at SAP in Montreal.

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.
