Sage reviews

Sage Software is not a true technology company. They essentially acquire other software companies and re-brand as their own and manage the product line. No real changes to those products, but increase renewals by a substantial amount each year. It's 2015 and they're barely adapting to the SaaS business model which their only real cloud based product that's relevant is built by Salesforce. It is told to the employees quota is based off last FY's number +10% which is not the case. Some months you don't even get your quota until two weeks into the current sales month. Working in a net new division, you would think there would be a lot of collaboration with marketing which was not the case and in fact, very disconnected. Their mentality is, if I'm an executive, I don't speak with sales reps, only their managers. Sage's leadership team has no direction and reality to what the market is demanding. A lot of the business initiatives in the Sage 50 group were changes on the fly without much thought. A lot of the management also don't have a clue how to be competitive in the small business market space. They're only focused around the numbers and showing a growth whether or not it is in an ethical way with absolutely no business plans or road map. Politics is also a big issue within the Sage 50 organization. There is a lot of favoritism and even unprofessionalism within the Sage 50 business unit.

Horrendous unachievable targets with extremely high pressure. High turnover of staff in sales due to this. Bonus scheme looks great, but targets are so high that it becomes too hard to achieve
