Pros

SAP was a phenomenal company 20 years ago. Lots of wonderful people still work there, but toxic, insecure and unqualified leaders are rampant throughout.

Cons

CEO himself was only appointed because of his dad's friendship with Hasso Plattner. He lacks charisma and micromanages and only appoints people in senior roles who are loyal to him, regardless of their talent. He also has affairs with his staff, and HR and Compliance do nothing. It is the same for other Board Members. SAP restructuring in 2023 and 2024 have also resulted in the loss of some of the best employees and so much useless dead weight is left.

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.
