Pros
Sage has a good range of benefits including pension, health cover and a rewards site. Sage doesn't have a culture of expecting overtime. Some good initiatives involving raising money for charities and encouraging staff to volunteer.
Cons
Over the last few years the culture has changed to one that ignores the staff, focuses on a few small areas of the business and ends up with most communications from upper management being collections of buzzwords and phrases that don’t make any sense. There is a lot of talk about getting things done quickly and enabling people to do their jobs with a focus on the customer but instead more processes have been added that slow everything down and require upper management to sign off on things that a manager should have control over. There used to be an annual staff survey to find out the current opinion of Sage employees the results were ignored for a couple of years and then this year they haven't bothered to do the survey at all. Because of many of the changes that have taken place staff morale has fallen but the updates from upper management seem to show they either have no idea that this is happening or don’t care. The internal systems for HR and performance reviews keep changing because they keep choosing really bad and unsuitable software.
