Pros

The people on the "coalface" are wonderful. The benefits are decent.

Cons

All support staff are now sales staff. The targets for sales are all important, if someone is good at sales but giving poor customer support, then that's fine: Sage's business model reflects this. Morale is very low, staff are penalised at every opportunity and blamed for the failings of poor leadership. There is lip service paid to cloud products, but the cloud products they have are not fit for purpose. Putting the word "cloud" in front of a desktop product is disingenuous.

Pros

Used to make decent commission when sage was chasing a number

Cons

Ridiculous pressure Outdated products Buzz words used that mean nothing Team managers on the whole are useless, lazy and add no value- over paid Senior managers are on the whole equally rubbish. Use uk market as a cash cow. If chasing or behind a number, increase the price Focus on america- ceo rarely in the WORLD HEADQUARTERS- newcastle Too interested in linkedin posts showing what a great company it is, its all rubbish In 18months steve and steve will have left with a lot of money and sage will be screwed. Customers leaving in droves If you kiss enough backside you are bound to suceed to a level
