Pros

Great people working there

Cons

Poor senior management constantly changing targets. Main target being sales and getting customer off phone as quick as posisble Don't treat staff like adults They dont do whats right for customer main priority is making money. Not willing to train staff properly (Standards have fallen hugely in the last 2 years) Little chance to progress if you are in Ireland on tech support most senior positions moved to the UK

Sage Pay - gone downhill after Sage have taken tighter control

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary good, environment ok ish

Cons

Sage are cutting back, massive recruitment deficit, made finance & marketing departments redundant. No health insurance, unequal fairness from management, authoritarian management, told what to do, little discussion - even when they don't know they argue that they do. office temperature way too hot in office. No one seems to care anymore. Their attitude is suck it up or leave. A lot of good people have left, that has changed the feeling of working for the company a lot.

Thanks for your review. We are a bit confused where you have got your information from...we have not got a "massive recruitment deficit" - and we have not made finance and marketing departments redundant. I am sorry your office is too hot - have informed the facilities team? Our people are dedicated and we care for our colleagues, our managers are undertaking a brand new modular leadership programme and this will make a difference. Please contact me if you wish to discuss further - glassdoor@sage.com. Thanks again for your review.
