Pros

In the early days after SoTA was sold to Sage it was still great fun.

Cons

Endless rounds of staff reduction, no value given to human capital, UK ownership clueless about NA market, never ending churn of executives.

Thanks for your feedback. Sage operates in a tough market, the tech industry changes at the blink of an eye. We do recognise our transformation programme has not been great for all, but lots of colleagues have moved onward and upward within the company and are thriving, sorry to hear things have not turned out great for you. Even though Sage's roots are in the UK, we have key strategic locations across the world, one being in Atlanta, GA. At Sage, we empower our colleagues across our regions to lead, grow, and win, providing all the right tools and techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes for our customers in the country they operate in. The Sage Go to Market model enables this. Our President, Blair Crump, is based in Atlanta. Thanks again for your feedback.

Pros

Global brand, Market Leader, strong product portfolio, worked with some amazing people - Sage does recruit well. Has a good vision for growth.

Cons

Brutal to work for. Targets high, salaries low. Endless catch up meetings sometimes on an hourly basis when Month ends were closing in. Extremely stressful place work! Bully culture in some areas of the business.

At Sage, we appreciate feedback, positive and constructive. Yes, all the things you list in the pros do exist and a lot more...from the amazing Sage Academy to our L&D programmes to our Leading for Leaders programme, Sage Rewards (being rolleld out) the brand new mentoring programme and our new senior exec bi-monthly Sage Broadcast which communicates in real-time to our entire Sage family. We also have lots of other new initiatives being delivered to our colleagues this year. As a high performing company, we do have ambitious goals, but they are realistic to achieve. Bullying is not tolerated. As a former colleague obviously you cannot review the Code of Conduct and other policies we have to protect our colleagues, including the Diversity & Inclusion Policy. We have a free & confidential helpline called Safecall to help our colleagues who have seen wrongdoing; we recognise it can be difficult or even intimidating to speak up when your colleagues do not appear to be concerned. However, if you have done, been asked to do or witnessed something that goes against the Code, then covering it up or ignoring it will make things worse. So, I urge colleagues to review the Code of Conduct and use the steps in there to ensure such behaviour is stamped out.

Hardworking colleagues, beautiful offices and solid strategy for the future

Cons

Shortsighted leadership. Ability of leadership to execute on the strategy is questionable
