Pros

Nice place to learn what you should never do if you have a chance to run a company. There are tons of constantly evolving initiatives to follow the hype curves and few very experienced and skillful people mostly in Germany from whom you can learn a lot!

Cons

Half the time is lost in reorganization, strategy and turning away paying customers and chasing unicorns that do not exists. This is the same across our various units in different regions - Walldorf, Bangalore, US and Canadian offices. Unfortunately, there is so much marketing hype, its now overwhelming for engineering! There is clearly a lack of direction and I am afraid we are running of the rails. We lost skillful experts through various cost cutting measures for bad executive decisions in different waves. Unless there is some serious introspection and course correction...I don’t see our company continuing to be a force in the enterprise business space beyond 2025!

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.
