There is a disconnect between upper management and the work force of Sage

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- The team I work with has fantastic colleagues that I love working with and can look up to - Working with modern technologies is challenging and rewarding

Cons

- The organization structure is a mess and there is a disconnect between upper management and the engineers creating the products that fill those upper management pockets. - Upper management has no idea about any of the technologies used, their purposes, their limitations, or capabilities and expects engineers to create incredible solutions with limited funding and many constraints. - Engineering teams are on the backburner for both funding and acknowledgement. The company does not exist with the products and solutions we create but we never see any inkling of the profits generated nor thanks for the work we do. How can we expect to implement and try new techniques and technologies when we can't get proper funding to get training? - Communications between teams is chaos, there are some teams that are fantastic and will reply to you while partnering on a project. However, there are teams that are definitely dysfunctional, under-staffed, and managed improperly that cause constant delays and issues. - The recent layoffs were such a morale booster for the company, nothing like hearing your close coworkers randomly laid off in the middle of a Tuesday. We're so happy that we have to now take over the workloads of everyone you've gotten rid of and absolutely radiant about not being paid any extra for that. And now that all the talent is gone the company can hire new low level/associates to fill the positions for cheaper.
