Sage reviews

- Lack of support from the management team and everything is rebranded again so nothing was in line - No proper training except for a training program that is not fully built - It worst experience ever, was in my 2nd month of working here, finish training and everything based on guidelines suddenly was pulled into a teams call while doing my training and got terminated RIGHT AWAY without any heads-up, no guiding or verbal warning before, they blame it on my English communication skills which is something really ridiculous and if someone not passing that requirement on the first stage, they won't hiring them either - I think now it all makes sense why their probation time is 6 months and when I join the company, the whole team is new, and the most senior one in the role is 1 year of working experience. Besides great culture and benefits, I will recommend staying away from them if you don't want to waste your time like me and have work trauma like this when they just suddenly terminate you right on the spot just because you are not a native English speaker.

Confused strategy and approach to execution. Company masquerades as a “SaaS business”, but not many people there know what this means. While competitors have grown at 10% plus during lockdown, Sage is celebrating 4% - it’s only a matter of time before investors abandon in favour of better opportunities, with knock on effects for colleagues. Company is ruled with an iron fist by Hare, Perkins and Howell - none of whom have a single day of experience managing a “SaaS” business outside of Sage. A fear culture is pervasive and instilled from the top - management are terrified of their bosses, and consistently do the wrong thing in order to appease them and protect themselves. Management work toward their bonus each year, and will do anything to protect this. There is an endemic culture of positive toxicity - if you disagree with company message/approach you are automatically labelled a troublemaker or not a team player and quietly shown the door. HR function is complicit in this - management are remunerated based on glass door scores, hence the eager response to comments on here!
