Pros

CEO is actually looking to steer the behemoth into the public cloud. Uniquely positioned to understand the needs of non-tech companies and create broadly usable solutions (albeit very inefficiently).

Cons

Meetings meetings meetings. Very waterfall; deadlines are determined by product stakeholders at the beginning, without consulting engineers, and never modified. Local management can (and was for me) very 'butts in seats' mid-pandemic, and regardless of the company's 'pledge to flex' ("you don't have to be in here 5 days a week 9-5. Just 8 hours of your choosing MWF. See? Flex!). Equity grants are budgeted only for ~half the team. 401k takes 3 years to fully vest. Comp is below market for companies of its size/name brand.

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.
