      Pros

      Good hours and no weekends. Time off is encouraged. Fooda set ups are nice and very convenient for the employee

      Cons

      All of the risks in selling solutions is on the employee. Now the Account Executive will not be paid until this solution goes live. This can be almost half a year. Pay is no longer competitive in the marketplace. Very gloomy environment as changes rolled out, the pay no longer matches the original offer. Employees do not trust the company anymore

      Thanks for your review and although you've now left Sage it's great to read you have a good work life balance and enjoyed the food offering in your former offices. We are committed to paying colleagues competitively - our pay structures are based on robust market data. We focus data sourcing on a carefully curated list of high tech companies to ensure we compare ourselves to our competitors. Sage is also committed to rewarding high performers. Our Sales Commission schemes are un-capped, and last year our top performers earned 3 times their annual salary in commission payments alone. Looking at UK data (I don't know where you're from, so apologies if you are not from the UK) - our average earning was £1,023pcm in commission sales. That compares very favourably with our competitors, and is even more competitive in the North East of England where the majority of our UK sales team are based. Thanks again for your review and all the best with your career.

      Pros

      was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

      Cons

      Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
