Pros

Salaries are decent as are benefits. Not worth the aggravation though....

Cons

Please do not believe the Sage responses. Read through these reviews and pay attention, the negative ones all say the same thing. The positive ones seem to be posted IMMEDIATELY after. I have never worked in a more hostile, toxic environment. The software is terrible, the sales team lies to the customers (due to the unrealistic demands placed on them) and the customers get mad as the software does nothing it is supposed to. Training is nonexistent. Coworkers are only out for themselves and new employees are left to panic over what they should be doing while no one helps them.

Hello and thanks for your review. We (and me personally) never add or ask for fake reviews. In any company they'll always be diverse opinions. I won't lie, we are working hard to combat the negative reviews - we do this by listening to our colleagues and putting the wrongs right. There are lots of colleagues who love Sage - look at @LifeatSage on Instagram and you'll see how happy and genuine many of our colleagues are. I recently asked colleagues to tell me why they love Sage or why they joined Sage, and these are some of the replies I received "I love working for Sage because I work alongside some incredibly inspiring people who help me be the best I can be." and "Quite simply.. Challenges me, excites me, empowers me!" and "Sage is a great place to work because we're trusted & empowered to do the right thing and can make a difference for colleagues and customers everyday." We get things wrong sometimes, and we want Sage to be the best place to work, we do this by listening and learning. Thanks again and I wish you every success with your career.

Pros

Sage Continues to expand in Atlanta market as they consolidate other office in the US. Hiring many junior level personal.

Cons

The executive team in North America has turned over 90%. In marketing, the team have been centralized, globalize and now localized again. No respect of employees, no Career path, and the products are still far from competing. Unachievable goals set so bonus don't get paid out.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad you mentioned that we are expanding into the Atlanta market and hiring some great colleagues to join our team. This includes some junior roles, but we are currently looking for experienced professionals, and senior-level team members. Like any great place to work, we are always looking to improve, and our new innovative product launches are just the beginning. We also have a new Leaders at Sage training program that provides colleagues with the skills they need to grow their career at Sage. We appreciate the many contributions you made to Sage during your time here.

Pros

You gain experience of what a place looks like with really poor management.

Cons

The company and senior management are stuck in the eighties. They will try to be relevant by using terminology (anybody hear about cloud and API's lately?), but they have no clue what they are doing. Then there's the thing where the entire company is now basically run by a single person (a large multinational with the same person as CFO, COO and CEO isn't alarming at all!). They absolutely refuse to listen to employees, but as with everything else, they will pretend to. Real experience: they were doing kick-off sessions, asking employees to submit questions which would be answered on-stage. Surprisingly, some questions actually made it to the app, but they were all deleted before the event. Everything is censored, there is absolutely no way that you can have an open and honest conversation with senior management.
