Pros

The company encourages employee to do charity work.

Cons

To choose between employees and cost, the company prefers cost cutting. They would rather hires new staff with liffle expereince instead of retaining expererienced employees just to save a few bucks. The customer focus is really a lie.

Thanks for reviewing Sage. The Sage Foundation is fantastic for colleagues and charitable organisations alike - our people help change the lives of 1000s of well-deserving people across the globe. By far our biggest channel for recruiting is our internal channel, right now 26% of our vacancies go to internal candidates and in some countries this is as high as 45% which demonstrates the value we place of developing colleagues at Sage. Our business builders are massively important to us, and as our CEO Stephen Kelly says 'they are our obsession' - great customers supported by a network of fantastic dedicated colleagues. Thanks again and I wish you all the success with your career.

Trying to be big, act and think too small

Pros

Nice offices (Great North Park, Newcastle) with good outside space to walk off frustrations.

Cons

Trying to play on the global scene but still think like a SME. Having big ideas but not putting resources behind them and expecting employees to give their all with no real incentives.

Thanks for your feedback. We're proud of our people and that's why they deserve to have great offices to work in - we've invested in our locations across the globe and we will continue to, so it's great to hear they are well liked by you...we are also refurbishing Newcastle this year as well...so, even more exciting. Sage does think big and is...from the world's first bott for accountants and now Pegg is the world's first voice activated bott for accounting too! We aim to make accounting invisible so the business builders can focus on their businesses. We've also announced a programme designed to empower the next generation with the AI and bot skills needed as the UK takes the lead on the global Bots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) movement. As part of Sage Foundation, over the next six months, Sage will establish a ‘BotCamp’ for over one hundred school-leavers and millennials, aged 16-25, giving them the opportunity to be at the leading edge of the technology industry. This programme is designed to be inclusive, and provide accessible technology skills that will help people to embrace, not fear, the 4th industrial revolution. 53% of employees are paid via Sage (in the UK), we are the market and technology leader for integrated accounting, payroll and payment systems as well as the UK's biggest tech company. Our people do amazing things - we build, we market, we sell, we support...our people are the best. We reward our colleagues well - whether pay, rewards, benefits, commission, bonuses, Platinum Elite etc. Thanks for reviewing Sage.

Thanks for your review about Sage. There's so much happening in Sage at the moment ranging from our localised summits (the UK is at London's ExcCeL, 5-6 April) ,plus lots of other locations across the world. We have a new global Intranet being launched soon ' Your Sage', Sage People has recently launched, a brand new colleague engagement survey coming soon, Leading@Sage Leadership Program launches 24th March, Platinum Elite location announced - over 100 colleagues will get the chance to go to Rosewood Mayakoba, Mexico, new cloud-based product launches, more evolution of our chat bot Pegg...pause for breath! The Sage Way (available to all colleagues) outlines how we are organized across our seven regions and functions. It sets out how we collaborate, how we live our values, and how we flawlessly execute to put our customers first. Sage Way is about bringing brilliant execution, a strong and positive culture, and our cause of supporting the business builders together. We have amazing people, great products that every business on this planet needs, and a cause that inspires us to do our very personal best.. Please speak to your manager if you haven't seen the new Sage Way or feel free to contact me (Lynne) at glassdoor@sage.com. Thanks again for your feedback.
