Pros

Flexible work hours Some opportunity to travel Canteen with free food Some good managers if you are lucky Opportunity to work with some really great people Opportunity to develop by using Ireland as a launch pad to move onto better things, USA for example.

Cons

The decision for SAP to have a base in Ireland is about being low cost Management ratio to the number employees they manage can be high. You can be left feeling not valued if you work hard and the remuneration package for the responsibilities of the role and working hard is not good. People identified and progressed to management are not based on their ability either as a Tech lead or HR manager Bad attitude to training and development; learning on the job is often said in meetings, which is really about saving money and meeting managers productivity targets. SAP push for employees to complete survey awards to be seen as a great employer rather than creating the actual lived experience on the ground. Not an environment where you can confidently express concerns in team meetings or highlight problems as these will either get ignored or in the worst case scenario the complainant becomes the problem. Increasingly silo mentality is occurring across and within teams. SAP do not retain talent, seen this over the years it is a revolving door where people are not people, but referred to as resources Work life balance has been an issue from day one

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.
