Pros

Good benefits (but that is where it stops)

Cons

If you are interesting for a position at this company, Run - don't walk, out the door. Read the other reviews carefully and you will see a consistent theme: Lack of leadership, limited onboarding, IT systems that are disparate and inhibit you from doing your top, and an attitude from the top-down that you can treat employees however you want to treat them without reprisal. In my 15 years of professional working, I have NEVER worked for a more abusive and dysfunctional organization.

Thanks for your review. It’s disappointing to read some of your comments – this is not the Sage we recognize. Our leadership team are working hard across the whole business to ensure One Sage is a great place to work. There's been a lot of change and as a business we recognize that change is needed, it's not always comfortable, but as we focus on the end goal (customers first, One Sage), we will be a great and powerful team. As you can tell from other reviews, it is our people that make this a great place to work. If you would like to provide us with more detailed feedback please contact us on glassdoor@sage.com

Pros

Sage has a good range of benefits including pension, health cover and a rewards site. Sage doesn't have a culture of expecting overtime. Some good initiatives involving raising money for charities and encouraging staff to volunteer.

Cons

Over the last few years the culture has changed to one that ignores the staff, focuses on a few small areas of the business and ends up with most communications from upper management being collections of buzzwords and phrases that don’t make any sense. There is a lot of talk about getting things done quickly and enabling people to do their jobs with a focus on the customer but instead more processes have been added that slow everything down and require upper management to sign off on things that a manager should have control over. There used to be an annual staff survey to find out the current opinion of Sage employees the results were ignored for a couple of years and then this year they haven't bothered to do the survey at all. Because of many of the changes that have taken place staff morale has fallen but the updates from upper management seem to show they either have no idea that this is happening or don’t care. The internal systems for HR and performance reviews keep changing because they keep choosing really bad and unsuitable software.

Pros

You have the best coworkers that support you. Work life balance is good to but it depends on your department.

Cons

Pay mediocre Global movement and recent layoffs moved most of CA jobs to GA. Retitiling of jobs means you are a manager but really do work of a director (UK initiative) Key knowledge is leaving FY16 will be a write off year and most likely bonuses will be nonexistent.
