Thanks for your review about Sage. There's so much happening in Sage at the moment ranging from our localised summits (the UK is at London's ExcCeL, 5-6 April) ,plus lots of other locations across the world. We have a new global Intranet being launched soon ' Your Sage', Sage People has recently launched, a brand new colleague engagement survey coming soon, Leading@Sage Leadership Program launches 24th March, Platinum Elite location announced - over 100 colleagues will get the chance to go to Rosewood Mayakoba, Mexico, new cloud-based product launches, more evolution of our chat bot Pegg...pause for breath! The Sage Way (available to all colleagues) outlines how we are organized across our seven regions and functions. It sets out how we collaborate, how we live our values, and how we flawlessly execute to put our customers first. Sage Way is about bringing brilliant execution, a strong and positive culture, and our cause of supporting the business builders together. We have amazing people, great products that every business on this planet needs, and a cause that inspires us to do our very personal best.. Please speak to your manager if you haven't seen the new Sage Way or feel free to contact me (Lynne) at glassdoor@sage.com. Thanks again for your feedback.

Pros

They have unlimited snacks and a cool office in Atlantic Station. My boss didn't care if my coworkers were off to their lunch break for 30 minutes or 3 hours.

Cons

Where to start - the marketing team is terrible. They should probably invest in hiring an outside marketing firm. It's not a great feeling when you call leads and turns out that they are current Sage employees or applicants. The marketing team loves blaming the entire sales team for not selling correctly, but they just don't want to admit that they don't know what they are doing. The culture is corporate to a point where nothing gets fixed and your job turns pretty admin trying to document things that are wrong in hopes that your boss can help fix, but that really never happens. Not to mention the VP of sales just resigned along with the head of North America. Goes to show how great the company is doing!!

Pros

- great people - work and life balance - Lots of Volunteering opportunities and company events - easy to join sales teams even if you do not have much previous sales experience

Cons

- Lack of leadership and mentor-ship from managers/directors - Lack of opportunities for further growth and career development - Caring too much about numbers VS caring people as main asset for the company/sales team - unrealistic Quotas driving sales team to focus on transnational sales rather consultative approach - You can't expect much changes and you need to accept things as it is - Lots of Micromanagement in place - Stressful environment as a result of ongoing pressure to hit certain call volumes and achieve monthly targets

Thanks for taking time to write your review. We agree that Sage has lots of amazing colleagues and really pleased t o hear you had a great worklife balance. Yes, the Sage Foundation gives colleagues a fantastic opportunity to help local charities, so it's a win-win. Having worked here previously, you're aware we are going through organisational change. This will enable us to to be stronger, better and more customer focused than ever before and leapfrog our competition. We recognise not everyone will be happy with changes – it’s not easy. We are currently in the process of pulling together a ‘Leading at Sage’ program which will be available for all managers, it will focus on the ‘people management’ aspects to their role, it will also aim to keep them up-to-date on our latest products and technologies as it is important all Sage colleagues are 'product champions’. Thanks again for your feedback.
