Pros

Quite good work-life balance, benefits are good.

Cons

Way too much politics. Knowledge and expertise alone do not matter if you don't have good connections. Often low quality software is produced at cheap locations, and this is sold to the higher management as "efficiency". Skilled people leave the company once they realise there is no way to add anything of value. Everybody else seems to stay here forever.

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.
