Pros

Extremely flexible. You have the freedom to work from home, and hours can be flexible as long as you are completing your work and participating with the team. Very laid back and informal atmosphere. The team is full of smart, hard working people, and there are a lot of opportunities to learn new things. Everyone is happy to help and communicates often. The office is fun, and there is occasional catered lunch and beer on Fridays. You will make many friends. SAP is a huge company, and there are tons of opportunities to connect with people around the world.

Cons

Workloads have gotten absurd in recent years. Software is buggy and engineering is focused on developing new features instead of fixing issues, putting support into impossible positions. In essence, you are set up for failure day after day. There are very little opportunities for career development within the support organization, and the opportunities that are there are not advertised to the team. The only way for you to get a worthwhile raise is to get a different job within the company, and to leave support altogether. Management is in constant flux, so you never have the opportunity to work with anyone to develop your career in any meaningful way. You get harassed on a daily basis for updates by other internal teams, and more effort has been put to hire people to micromanage you than to ease the workload.

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.
