LifeatSage - A great place to work

Pros

I am only in my second month at this company and am already finding it an exceptional place to work. Although I am not office based, so I don't enjoy the benefits of the restaurants and other on site facilities unless I am in for meetings (now and then). Why is it exceptional then? Well, there's the people. The people are open and honest and helpful. I particularly liked and continue to enjoy the ambassador approach to onboarding. Great use of social media within the organisation on chatter for example where people can collaborate in groups geographically challenged. Fantastic learning opportunities with the Sage Lynda.com portal providing just in time learning opportunities. Very useful top down messaging from CEO in regular Sage TV appearances. Very good UK messaging coming down from JdR in the UK - on the ball and relevant messaging, in the right tone and timely.

Cons

Some delays in the ordering of equipment and software but nothing that couldn't be worked through with the help of colleagues. Some way to go in unifying processes and systems, single sign on, for example but there have been recent leaps and bounds in the provision of a global intranet, a people portal and so on. Often difficult to find things internally, but with the help of ambassadors and colleagues this is not insurmountable. Some difficulties continue setting up signoffs and so on where manager is in another geography. Systems not talking to each other.

Thanks for your review about Sage. The Ambassador programme for new starters can't be under-estimated can it - totally agree. They make such a difference in a company our size, so it's great to hear the Programme has been of use to you - thanks. Linda.com is a fantastic tool, so many learning and development opportunities to really help grow your career. Couldn't agree more about the new leader in the UKI - JdR is breathing some fire and passion into the belly of our people - the 'Green Army' - her weekly updates are spot on, and with Sage Live TV broadcast every two weeks, the messaging is really working. Pleased to hear you like the new 'Your Sage' global intranet too. I agree with your cons, but as you say, we are getting there and improvements are being made all the time. Loving the title of your review - keep loving #LifeatSage!

Thanks for your review. We have a strong culture and with our values this makes Sage a great place to work. Being in 24 countries there's also opportunities to grow and develop. The Sage Leadership programme launches later this month so that will have a positive effect in terms of management style. Thanks again for your review.

Thanks for your review and it's great to hear from our north African colleagues. It's pleasing to hear your environment in Morocco works well for you and your colleagues are skilled. We have and will continue to invest heavily in cloud-based technology and with the acquisition of Fairsail this ensures we leapfrog the competition - our Chat Bot Pegg was the first ever bot for Accountants, showing our innovation and creativity. Thanks again for taking time to write your review.
