Pros

-- good pay and bonuses

Cons

-- Poor reputation: Company's brand perception is extremely negative in the SF Bay Area -- Corrupt culture: employee advances are handed out based on who you know, not what you know -- Reorgs: With 2+ re-orgs per year you career can quickly stall and you can be trapped in a bad group -- Uneducated Managers: Managers are untrained and often under-educated. -- Fake Job titles: Virtually everyone holds a business title of Director or VP. In reality very few people hold these titles as per the Corporate HR system. -- 1980's Technology: With its own HTTP layer and ABAP custom language built in the 80s, SAP technology is crap and often ridiculed by the tech leaders in the SF Bay Area -- Working from Home: Often abused many VPs and Directors, who are missing in action and working on personal projects instead.

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.
