Pros

People in Sage are generally decent looking to progress themselves. Facilities right through to HR are amazing and the new office is fantastic

Cons

Sage has been a fantastic place to work every single individual worked together. However in the past 12-18 months things have changed drastically. HR is currently being run completely from the UK which means they are not easily accessible and they are not close enough to some of the things that happen. Leadership are floating on cloud 9. They constantly talk about how great we are, meanwhile the people on the front line are drowning not only from volume and complaints about the product but also from the harassment and bullying enforced from management. Success is not celebrated but failure is constantly rubbed in people's faces even when it is something outside of their control. Employees are exposed to a culture of fear to the point that they have been told not to speak to HR any more. They are told on a regular basis they are replaceable. When certain issues have been investigated by HR they have been brushed under the mat and instead Sage continues to hemeriage talented individuals and destroy the amazing brand they once had. Certain members of the leadership team get by through meddling in lies and intimidating others. The latest product "Sage Live" is not market ready and customers hate it however their feedback is being ignored and management continue to hail it as the best accountancy product on the market. It's no wonder Xero are Doing so well. Face the hard truths and tackle them head on instead of pretending everything is ok.

Pros

-Nice offices depending on where you're located -Benefits are great considering other non-startup company -Atmosphere, while tense because of restructuring, is fairly laid back -Your co-workers are among the best you'll work with, some managers however....*shrugs*

Cons

-Work-life balance is a joke (don't be sick too many times or have serious health issues or you'll find yourself in trouble fairly quickly). Also new provider for Disability will only call at the end of their day, nearly insuring denied claims. -Managers and Upper management are fairly unresponsible to criticism. To the point of taking it personally. -Some metrics that we're measured on are out of our control and even after multiple complaints, there's been no announced changes -Promotion seems to be hit or miss depending on managers, time of year, budget, random chance of wind. -You will spend more time justifying your job actions than actually doing your job. -No ability to learn unless its on your time (Hint: see above bullet on if you think you're able to do that) -Things change on a whim, sometimes several times in a day. You may find yourself doing something you're not trained for and expected to triage.

Pros

- good pay - great benefits - can work remotely some

Cons

- the company no longer treats its employees fairly - due to a massive reorg, the company recent had extensive layoffs including top performing individuals and women out on maternity leave - the company now has many new jobs available, but those let go were not moved, just laid off - relatively new executive management is now only focused on the bottom line, not employee satisfaction or the work/life balance that Sage had earned a positive reputation for
