Pros

Big company means not too much work, and an employee's work will mostly fit their job description.

Fair number of opportunities to advance career within SAP as an internal hire.

In spite of layoffs in 2024, SAP did avoid over-hiring in the years prior, explaining that they foresaw this possibility. To their credit, layoffs in 2024 were substantially less than at other major companies or their competitors.

Cons

Some positions exist that have become obsolete. This wastes the time of employees who are in impactful positions.

Senior management typically reorganizes its own structure 1-2 times per year, which results in confusion and frustration within the company.

Pay is lower than for similar positions at other companies.

Advice to Management

Mid-level management has been excellent in my experience. They are generally compassionate and work to better their subordinates. Senior management tries too hard to create solutions to problems the company doesn't have, rather than listening to employee feedback. While some things are necessary for the sake of shareholders, the future success of this company can only be achieved by avoiding the pitfall of chasing increased profit margins every quarter.
