Pros

Pretty good compensation, usually hit bonus target, subsidized lunches, nice campus. If you like job security and not a lot of stress, you can be a lifer here.

Cons

Glacial development cycles driven by Walldorf (German HQ) mean that it's difficult to make any sort of impact. SAP does not understand how to really manage innovation and how to do things quickly. Also, there is lots of dead wood here - the people that actually make things happen either become executives (in a few cases) or leave to go somewhere where it's easier to actually do something (most cases).

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.
