The company changes org structures frequently, and rarely looks inside for the next generation leadership. To move up in Sage you probably have to move out and then back in. In recent years many of the leadership decisions have moved to the global HQ in the UK so many of the regions are just rolling out the plans from the mothership.
If you want a position to contribute to daily, but not get out of your comfort zone then Sage is for you. If you have hopes of a growing career, recognition and advancement - this is probably not the right organization for you.
Compensation is fair, but negotiate hard for your initial salary as increases once on-board are non-existent. My previous employer provided cost-of-living adjustments annually (on top of any type of performance bonuses) ; however, Sage provides 1-4% increase based on your yearly performance review - without any real hope of making larger salary jumps or role moves. Miserly (and pointless) would be a good way to describe the annual review process. Bonus structure looks enticing on paper but forget about actually making those goals as an individual, region and company.
