Pros

Good benefits program, eligible within 30 days of employment vs standard 90 days Work life balance (arrive and leave at the same time every day)

Cons

No option to opt out of long term disability coverage Poor communication and limited documentation of processes creating inconsistencies throughout the business causing frustrated employees and customers Low employee retention (both through those who quit and the semi-annual layoffs in each campus) and with those employees goes knowledge (see above) that was never shared/communicated No proper CRM tracking required (for reference about 20,000 customers on plan within their Start Up division alone) Questionable sales and business practices; would not recommend the products to family/friends Sage is for you if are fine with coming in doing the same thing everyday knowing you won't be able to help the business evolve, will be limited to effecting change for your customers and that you are disposable regardless of your performance.

Pros

Sage has great benefits and flexible working hours. Relaxed environment and thoughtful collegues. There is no stress and pressure or tight deadlines.

Cons

Huge legacy systems and no real will for renovation. The strategy isn't clear and the requirements are lost in the long process coming down from product to devs.
