      Pros

      Some of the people are really great, and you’ll make a few friends for life. Pension is good and healthcare ok.

      Cons

      1. Cliques - too many of them... Boys clubs and backstabbers. Take nobody at face value! 2. Management - want to have your day to day job picked apart, by someone who hasn’t done your job? This is the company to join! They’ll also take credit for the work you do! Some will overstate what their team members achieve to make sure they hit target and get commissions... 3. Targets - Unrealistic and unachievable. Even when you give managers the verbatim customer feedback, they don’t care. You’ll be the one raked over the coals (in front of your peers most of the time!). 4. Products - They don’t listen to the customer and instead build what they believe people want... That’s why customers are leaving to competitors in hoardes! 5. Pay - It’s average. Competitors will match and (in most cases) pay more, with a better opportunity to earn commission. 6. PR - just look at most of the replies to the reviews on here! No heart, or individual response... Copy/paste from the ‘Good Guide to Business Response; 1984’ 7. Boulevard of Broken Dreams - You want that promotion? Tough... You’ll do extra work to earn it, and not get it anyway! Training?... Nope! Not for you! 8. Elite Holiday - Excellent for those people who fiddle figures to make themselves look better... Or work on the renewals team. Even a couple who brown nose with the Directors! You work hard, day in day out, and over achieve?... You’re not going anywhere!

      Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry to read your experience wasn't a good one, this isn't what most of our 14,000 colleagues have, although we are not complacent as we want each and every colleague to have a great experience working here. If there's any suggestion of wrong-doing, it should be reported confidentially to SafeCall as outlined in our Code of Conduct. All feedback on Glassdoor is taken seriously and each review receives an individual response. Currently 26% of our vacancies go to internal candidates and in some countries this is as high as 45% which demonstrates the value we place of developing colleagues at Sage. We do benchmark our salaries with the market and pay competitively and have great opportunities to excel as well as our award winning benefits. We know listening to our customers and giving them what they need is the only way to keep customers for life - we've recently won a number of awards too - from innovation for 'Pegg' to Project of the Year award for Sage 50 transformation.

      A company for the Shareholders

      Pros

      Benefits- Dental, Vision, Medical, Gym reimbursement. Start with vacation time Overtime available if needed Pay is decent if you can hit goal. Work/Life balance is good

      Cons

      Company is becoming to vested in the shareholders rather than the employees. Doubling or even tripling goals from the previous year without making improvements to the product- and at the same time increasing the price of the product 2 to 4 times a year. Micro-managing is ridiculous because of the impossible-to-hit goals. Sage puts on a facade of being a huge family and "OneSage", but again, all of its changes are for the shareholders, not the employees. Too many changes happen in a year with compensation.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the benefits and feel you have a good work-life balance. That is important no matter where you work. It’s true that we set the bar high, and the introduction of our cloud products will not only bring huge benefits to our customers, but assist in our sales team in achieving their goals as well. We have many changes over the past couple of years, and like most companies, we are always looking for ways that we can improve our colleague experience. Your feedback is always welcome and very much appreciated.

      Incompetent leadership

      Pros

      Smart and dedicated people work very hard to keep up with the pandemonium.

      Cons

      Constant turmoil, incompetent leadership in Atlanta (in way over her head). There's no long-term business plan - it morphs daily. Bonuses are a joke. Lots of fake reviews on this site.
