Sage needs to change

Pros

Some nice people, and good friendships. Pretty decent benefits plan.

Cons

There a lot's of "do as I say" style leaders willing to do whatever it takes to achieve an objective as long as that "whatever" does not require change or looking at problems in a different manner. Every product offered by Sage is based on exceedingly outdated technology. Few web-based products and Sage completely missed the entire SaaS boat. Sage rotates General Managers of their Biz Units in a manner that might lead you to believe that either there was something wrong with their hiring process or that GMs are scapegoats for poor strategc decison making.

Stay Away if You Can

Pros

Use to be a good company to work for, but situation in US is significantly worse in the last 2 years.

Cons

Sage does not care about employees at all. 3 days working from office is strictly enforced, with sick colleagues working at office all the time. Feels like they want to force you to quite working there. Almost all US colleagues I talked to were very frustrated with the company. Recently Sage also uses PIP as a weapon to terminate long term employees and avoid paying any severance package. I saw a 20+ years colleague being terminated without any severance package.

Thank you for sharing your experience, particularly given your long tenure with Sage. We’re sorry to hear how negatively your time ended and understand how frustrating and disappointing this experience clearly felt.

Anyone experiencing challenges or concerns in this area is encouraged to raise them through our Always Listening internal feedback channels or to seek confidential support from our Colleague Relations team. We also take your feedback about people and performance processes very seriously.

Pros

Immediate engineering team was strong, smart with passionate people. Technology stacks are reasonable modern in pockets.

Cons

Sage lacks coherent product strategy. Senior leadership seems to flip directions every quarter, which results in our roadmap being pulled, reworked or cancelled frequently. Culture change felt reactive rather than strategic. Lots of references to how Microsoft operated from 10 years ago from ex Microsoft colleagues in management. Seems like the Sage vision was just management trying to recreate Microsoft here. Mandatory office attendance (3 days/week) enforced even if nearest office is a long commute and impractical.
