Pros

Coworkers are great, consistent and stable hours, reasonable physical working environment, many of the people managers are on your side, potential growth opportunities

Cons

Understaffed support queues, sales-focused support strategy with highly unrealistic targets, lacking consistency across all levels of management (one manager may tell their team one thing and another might tell their team something completely the opposite), promotions system is a dangling carrot on a moving target, desperate to keep bodies in the queues that they're willing to overlook employees whose behaviors actively hurt our image to customers (but still takes too long to replace lost staff), some managers will actively try to quash any criticism or escalate legitimate complaints, silo-ing within departments and products, communication is lacking in many areas (this is being improved on but needs further work)

We appreciate honest feedback from colleagues, and it is clear you care about making Sage a better place. We all do! I would encourage you to also use one of internal channels to share your voice, give your ideas, provide solutions and make things happen. This includes your people team, the All-In meetings, and Sage-TV Live to name a few . A great start would be to talk to your site leader. Also, just last month we held “The Big Conversation” where all 14,000 Sage colleagues around the world participated on an online conversation about anything and everything. The responses helped us gained a lot of insight, and some great colleague suggestions are already being implemented - I certainly hope you were part of that awesome event. Thank you again for sharing your experience and bringing your best to work every day!

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoy the people with whom you work but disappointed to hear that you don't feel as if the support you are receiving is genuine. We encourage you to use the various internal channels available to express your concerns, because it is very important to us that all of our colleagues are valued and appreciated and their voices are heard so that we can make Sage the best place it can be.

Teams understaffed / no work life balance

Pros

* dynamic new leadership * great suite of products for small and medium size companies * brand well known worldwide, in particular in the US and Europe

Cons

* staff is leaving and not replaced as long as there's no burn out in the rest of the team - some teams are really understaffed, leading team members to work 10 to 12 hours / day + weekends more than exceptionally. Whereas annual salary might be attractive, the salary rate based on hours worked is not motivating at all. * Part-time is less and less granted as team are understaffed. It's either full-time or bye bye. * downside of working for a global company are skype meetings at night (2am sometimes) due to time difference with US and UK. * Open space; noisy; to few rooms to focus on one's tasks.
