Pros

SAP still has good company values and there are a lot of benefits. Most teams offer flexible working times. Taking responsibility in your family is valued and accepted at SAP.

Cons

The chances to get promoted are very little and highly depend on luck and not so much on your personal performance. For example, a Junior Developer in a team of Seniors can make a good career, because the Seniors generate a lot of promotion budget, making it easy to promote the junior. The same person in another team might not be promoted although performing the same. Chances to move beyond senior level are very little and within the senior level the salary raises have been minimal. Overall, the compensation is far too low compared to the market. Recent decisions of the higher management also caused a loss of trust and I feel that there is a new culture of doing the bare minimum, because there is no reward for going above and beyond.

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.
