Sage reviews

The list here is pretty extensive. I would recommend sorting the reviews by date and start reading. Some of the highlights if you don’t have time. Zero direction from sales/marketing all the way to engineering. Unqualified upper management. Nobody has a clue how to move forward. In fact they are in a perpetual state of analysis paralysis. As I search for a new job, I hope my next place is able to attract competent senior management. I am fairly certain our existing president of North America was given the job because the short list for applicants was short to the point of being nonexistent. There is apparently an interim CTO for North America as well that I have been told has earned the position by actually accomplishing nothing (see above). Good for him I say. Over in sales and marketing the chaos is just as bad. We do our best but really have no idea what to do next.

- slow to keep up with new technologies. Still getting to grips with the Cloud. - lots of people leaving and not being replaced, leaving remaining staff under huge pressure. The quality of the software suffers massively because of this. - brutal when the figures aren't looking great, people losing jobs on an almost rotational basis. Jobs being moved to Poland - team leads holding calibration sessions to basically compare colleagues against each other and decide who to pick on for the following few months (there has to be someone in each role due to a strongly recommended, but not forced, bellcurve system. This has lead to people trying to outdo each other so they look the best and dont become the 'chosen one', destroying any team spirit which might have been left. - horribly low staff morale. Constantly feeling like your job is at risk and wondering what on earth is being said about you in the secret calibration sessions. - pointless "catch up" sessions with leaders via skype, or worse still in the atrium, to give people information which could have been communicated on an email. - ask for a lot of feedback from staff but do precisely nothing with it. Anything negative is dismissed and brushed under the carpet. - team leaders lacking people skills and compassion, think everyone's lives revolve around Sage. - part time staff treated appallingly meaning they have little to no chance of progression, due to being kept away from big projects and discouraged from engaging in anything outside of their immediate teams. - staff brought in on fixed term contracts, given very little training then sacked when they start to struggle.
