      Pros

      Management is great and moderately easy to reach out to. Great benefits and work life balance. Lots of benefits and team events almost daily. Great brand name at least within the older crowd. Clear setting of expectations of current role and future promotions or transitions.

      Cons

      There are too many procedures that come with being a large company, and it’s hard to cope with it as a new joiner. The tech stack in and around ABAP is outdated and does not follow anything that the standard development outside uses. This means that staying at SAP is horrible for employability, as you’re restricted to staying at SAP or working in other companies using SAP. Horrible documentation online due to using SAP specific frameworks.

      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.
