Pros

Good customer base and recurring revenues. Great customer list. Product is best of class with very ugly User Interface, which can not be fixed until the entire product is rewritten. Pays well and provides good benefits - although they're being diluted year after year - first employee stock purchase plan was taken off, then pension plan - now I'm sure the 401k match will be reduced.

Cons

* Too political, too many middle managers. Too bureaucratic with too many middle managers (Directors and VPs) with no real power so so they have to resort to politics. No real innovation - it is a cash cow which is being milked by the executives specially McDermott and his cabal.

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.
