Pros

No stress (work life balance) Usually nice colleagues (depends on the team) Shares options Diversity in nationalities

Cons

- Management keeps changing every half a year! Thus, no vision. - No career progress, unless you are well integrated with management. - Salaries are really underpaid, compared to other competitors! - HR is 100% passive - Your day as a developer has less than 50% development related tasks - No education budget - Raise cycle highly depends on you you political skills, rather than technical. - It is not a software company, it’s a product company! - Management old way of thinking! - Personally, I don’t like open office areas to work at, too loud!

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.
