Pros

Technology is evolving rapidly (at least in the Cloud based offerings) which is fun for the development community, the compensation and PTO time is good, and individuals can control their own pace to some degree (work/life balance).

Cons

SAP's culture is fairly process intensive, which can be a burden for some. The more we're intertwined with SAP (company was acquired through acquisition) the more siloed our roles are becoming. Some of that is natural in large companies. Technology is moving quickly, but many aspects are controlled and guided by central architecture which doesn't leave a ton of room for flexibility.

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.
