Pros

Very customer focused, a real leader in accountancy software.

Cons

Latest announcement to colleagues mean working in office 3 days a week. In my personal circumstances, it makes zero sense as my team doesn't work in the same office as me. I've worked remotely for 4 years no issues, returning to office has made it less enjoyable to work for sage. Unless you live near an office, DO NOT APPLY AT SAGE as they will expect you to come in or you will likely lose your bonus/job. I live 2 hours away from the office, my productivity is soo low now.

We appreciate your feedback and have read through your comments. Please note that our hybrid working approach is an important element of the way we work at Sage that is complemented by other benefits such as paid time to volunteer, the ability to work away for up to 10 weeks a year and free well-being support tools. We recently also answered several colleagues' questions about the new 3-day policy. In doing so, we've shed more light on how colleagues will be supported as they adhere to our updated hybrid structure. More information about what we offer can be found here https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Benefits/Sage-United-Kingdom-Benefits-EI_IE1150.0,4_IL.5,19_IN2.htm - Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We’ll continue to work hard to improve how we enable colleagues to thrive.

Pros

None, except for catering for lunch. And they had snacks constantly stocked in the fridge. Literally that was the only thing that was good about working there.

Cons

Everything. From training, to the manager (who was based out of the UK), the leadership team (abusive and toxic - they would yell at employees and belittle you with no empathy or regard for your emotions), all the way down the resources that were given to you to do your job (which was very little). And not to mention, they demanded a high level of performance within 2 months of working there. Wasn't even enough time to get trained effectively or learn how to do the job. My manager, who's name I will not mention (it rhymes with "hallux") was verbally abusive towards me, non-stop. They're was a huge cultural barrier because all the higher ups were from the UK and treated the US employees like crap. I had zero work/life balance. I was working 80+ weeks without any support from my manager. He would say "you're the expert, you should know what to do." It was not hard for me to quit.

Poor management & nepotism at it’s best

Pros

Intacct team at the San Jose office is amazing, smart, innovative and a true Silicon Valley’s child. There’s still some good folks there but most have already been cut out of the picture.

Cons

Management is the worst I have ever seen. From the top down, this UK company will do what it takes to support their own legacy company while cutting off Intacct employees who work so hard to put Intacct on the map. Intacct was thriving until Sage bought it, then they drove it to the ground, layoff and relocate the headquarter to Atlanta. They bought out the competition and basically killed the team and product. They layoff the Intacct team in different stages/ timeline to avoid the mandatory Cal-WARN, which is the state version of the federal WARN Act, is triggered by 50 or more layoffs of covered employees within a rolling 30-day window. The 60-day notice requirement also applies when the business is terminating operations or relocating its operations 100 miles or more away.
