Pros

People were quite team oriented here and "silos" were fairly rare for the most part. Great sense of camaraderie between and within teams.

Cons

Horrible work-life balance (this was something that SAP executive management acknowledged was a known problem but I never saw them come out with a actionable solution for fixing this). Company is bloated and seldom culls out the unproductive. Part of this might be due to the German Workers Council's influence. This bloatedness translates into too many stakeholders and inefficient operations. Things move very slowly here. Flat organizational structure translates into a lack of ability to grow a team and promote. Tendency for people to get pigeonholed into a role for many years.

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.
