Pros

- Free Lunch and Recently added complimentary breakfast - Amazing campus around palo alto - Good atmosphere and freedom for developers to use latest technologies to do their job - Learning new stuff

Cons

- Pay isn't good. In the lesser side of the bay area margin. - WLB is ok I guess. As in any other company in the bay area. - Lot of politics around. Good idea to shut up and do your work wearing headphones. - The company doesn't seem to be doing so well. I am seeing less money being spent on employee engagement. We used to have monthly outing and stuff a few years ago but now its once in like 4-5 months. SAP normally has a yearly outing to great america but they even cancelled that this year saying they need money for "processing other employees green card". I mean who says that ? That was so bizarre. We got some horrible food trucks where it took my 2 hours to get a small slider I am not even kidding. Overall with the recent layoffs and other small things going on here and there I am not very sure about the future about this company and looks like a sinking ship.

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.
