Pros

They let me work from home sometimes.

Cons

I had two managers who would regularly corner me in unscheduled meetings and verbally berate me for long stretches of time. They also gaslighted me by lying about the content of these conversations to my face in subsequent encounters. They ignored filling important positions and instead opted to use the headcount to secure jobs for their personal friends. They consistently put pressure on me to quit, despite me doing everything asked of me. When I brought it to the attention of HR, they said plainly that they would always side with management. It was by far the most toxic work environment I've ever been a part of, and you should not work here.

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.
