Pros

- good work based on the team and projects - free food

Cons

- For most of the the benefits that they talk about, employees end up paying from their own pocket, e.g. Medical insurance - They will tell you that company will reimburse you for a lot of hobbies and activities that you may want to pursue, but it turns out, you end up paying for it - HR will lie to you before joining and they don't disclose all the hidden details about benefits - car lease and higher education benefits are not applicable for all employees, only if you want to stay here for next 10 years, these benefits will be applicable - they will talk so much about being employee friendly and caring, but no reimbursement for basic home office setup for new joinees - most of the benefits that you see are pretty much available with almost every other company, so nothing new here - new joinees get old used laptops. I know this isn't a big deal but it shows how cheap the organization can be - funniest thing - they give you 2000 rupee gift card on your birthday and project itnas if they bought you a Ferrari

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.
