Sage reviews

Upper and Senior Leadership are disconnected from 'lower' employees and even the products that they sell. There is this strange belief that the more people you throw at something the better instead of taking a moment to discover the real reason that a product, like Financials, isn't working. It's not because of the people who are selling it or the Success Coaches and Partners who are trying tirelessly to implement it...it's the product itself. If anyone from the senior leadership or the CEO himself were to follow the work that goes into the product from when it's sold until it went live they would be shocked. They only want to believe their own utopia marketing and catch phrases like that are simply not true - there is not easy about integrating a 3rd party app into Financials to make that "one-stop shop" you all keep harping on about. You can keep putting lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig. The first mass lay-off came as a shock and the management had the audacity to conduct a "fake training" while people were pulled out one by one and let go. Then the second lay-off there was NO plan to follow up with customers or partners or EVEN our colleagues in the Dublin offices. Two weeks passed with escalation calls and emails that were going to employees who were no longer there and our Dublin counterparts were wondering where we [ATL] were. All and all this is a TOXIC workplace and should be avoided until Senior Leadership figures out how to stop applying band aids and actually get in the trenches.

Archaic bell-curve employee rating process which is really an underhanded way of saving money by cutting raises and bonuses. A myopic move by management if ever there was one as morale is so low I don't know anyone who isn't looking to leave. Senior management set unrealistic targets for the sales teams and then avoid accountability when said targets aren't met. It's easier to blame/fire the lower level workers than accept responsibility. "The buck stops here" is not a plaque you'll find on Steven Kelly's, Steve Hare's or Blair Crump's desks. The spending freeze has caused innovation to grind to a halt. People have stopped asking for funding for necessary tools. Products are released without adequate testing (SL). No funding for personal development/training. Watching a Lynda video is a poor substitute.
