Pros

Health care, days off, annual bonus

Cons

SAP has undergone significant changes in recent years, and it is disheartening to witness the deterioration of its culture, once known for its positive environment and respect for employees. Unfortunately, the departure of many valued leaders has led to a shift towards a management style that undervalues its workforce. Employees are now subject to unrealistic expectations and pressure to meet stakeholder goals, resulting in a toxic environment where salary cuts, reduced benefits, and limited promotion opportunities are commonplace. As a result, many employees are seeking opportunities elsewhere or disengaging from their work. Transparency is lacking, and even employees with outstanding performance records struggle to find advancement opportunities. Management appears solely focused on cost-cutting measures, often at the expense of employee well-being. Additionally, the promotion of inexperienced individuals to management positions has further exacerbated the lack of respect within the organization. The toxic atmosphere is taking a toll on employees' mental health, transforming SAP from a once desirable workplace into a challenging environment to navigate. Additionally, the decision to mandate a return to the office is another troubling development that contributes to employee dissatisfaction. This policy not only disregards the preferences and well-being of employees but also serves as a covert tactic to encourage resignations without providing appropriate severance packages. It's a disappointing and unfair approach, especially considering the dedication and contributions of employees over the 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.
