Pros

It's a tech company. Pay is reasonable, given the lowball "salaries" (if one is lucky to have one) that have become standard in the economy. Benefits are good.

Cons

Zero visibility to those on the ground. All major decisions are made in Germany, and are often shortsighted and/or senseless. Developers who aren't in Waldorf or Bangalore often get the short end of the stick, while expecting to conform to half-year deadlines. Teams are spread out across timezones, making it difficult to collaborate effectively. Core backend technology is severely outdated and causes a lot of problems with modern client-side application implementations (i.e. mobile).

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.
