Sage reviews

The products are not good enough. Any feedback is completely shut down by management and if the time comes around, that your feedback is relayed directly by an angry customer etc., heads will be firmly stuck in the sand. This is certainly not how Sage will "change the way you do your accounts." Their new product, Sage live, seems to have suffered most from this attitude and is way behind where it should be, largely because of ignoring customers. Management's approach to staff is to wring them like a wet cloth. There is no culture of encouragement in sage, it's purely a "do it or else" mentality. The HR function in Sage is only in place to protect the organisation and this allows upper management to wantonly intimidate and belittle employees, with no fear of consequence. Whatever your targets are today, will likely not be what they are tomorrow. Leadership haven't a clue what to focus on and you can be sure that they won't be held accountable when things go wrong.

Not ran like a FTSE 100 company - no processes or procedures and general disorganisation, virtually no support or training, no work life balance and unrealistic expectations, in a permanent state of chaos and fire fighting mode causing myself and other staff members stress and anxiety, incompetent senior management out of touch with front line, re-structure seems to have destroyed employee morale; vast majority of staff seemed very unhappy. Company seems to have been 'Americanised' since new CEO, this certainly doesn't translate well and is cringe-worthy. A lot of clique mentality amongst existing staff members who are not always willing to support new starters. I have never had issues such as these with any of my positions with other organisations. My advice - think long and hard before accepting a position at Sage and read reviews such as this.
