Pros

There are many opportunities to change roles and locations. The company is great at supporting people with goals to work internationally, support with relocation packages, etc.

Cons

Long-term employees find their salaries largely "frozen", with no chance to get more than a minor increase even if one takes on team management and more responsibilities.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you took the time to leave a review on Glassdoor. We want our employees to enjoy what they do and that also means to be compensated fairly. Our pay-for-performance philosophy gives freedom to managers to decide on the compensation package his/her direct reports earn. As a tech company, we unite teams all over the world and we are able to keep in touch with each other on a daily basis regardless of distance. So whether the manager is in the same country or not, he/she knows the employee the best with local HR only giving general guidance. Additionally, before changing role or departments at SAP, new compensation packages alongside new responsibilities are discussed between the employee and the new manager to ensure both parties would be satisfied with the new conditions.

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.
