Pros

Some great people, strong brand , exposure to varying solution sets and LoBs, free lunch, new MD has the right idea but a hell of a road ahead of him

Cons

Sales culture is absolutely appalling and borders on bullying. no one is allowed to see beyond the quarter and customers suffer from constant turnover of their account managers and a lack of true care for their business. Compliance deals still drive the number and there is little alignment with acquisition sales teams who generally do their own thing. Good sales people don't stay long unless they're solely in it for the money and partners are treated with a big lack of respect and general disdain

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.
