Sage reviews

Awful CEO, 'positivity' above all else, sales-oriented targets even for non-sales roles, salary low for the role type, deliberately unachievable targets, laughable bonus structure, staff scared of speaking out in case they're labelled 'negative' or 'cynical'. I could list about twenty more. Be careful when reading reviews. Those 'higher up' will say that staff views are listened to, that bullying isn't tolerated and that you'll never be penalised for raising a concern. It's possible that they actually believe this - because concerns never make it past first tier management. People raise concerns with their managers, but rather than listening and passing this on, they're dismissed with 'Don't be cynical', 'Don't be negative' or something similar. Bear in mind that 'positivity' is built into most people's objectives, so when the manager who is in charge of their annual review starts calling them negative for raising a valid concern, people will back down.

Please do not believe the Sage responses. Read through these reviews and pay attention, the negative ones all say the same thing. The positive ones seem to be posted IMMEDIATELY after. I have never worked in a more hostile, toxic environment. The software is terrible, the sales team lies to the customers (due to the unrealistic demands placed on them) and the customers get mad as the software does nothing it is supposed to. Training is nonexistent. Coworkers are only out for themselves and new employees are left to panic over what they should be doing while no one helps them.
