Pros

Complimentary coffee and tea Free parking Safe and clean work environment

Cons

A lot of bureaucracy No room for advancement Lack of leadership and vision All the products are really old using dated technologies Poor vacation policy (you are forced to take time off very often) Performance metrics are non-sense and anybody can easily end up on the chopping block Lack of autonomy (micromanagement is highly prevalent)

Thanks for your review. Sorry to hear things were not great for you whilst at Sage. We work hard to ensure our people love working here and have lots of initiatives in place to make Sage a great place to work. One Sage was introduced to help smash the silos and reduce bureaucracy. Our kick-offs last October ensured every colleague understood our mission and vision and how we would achieve it - backed up twice a month with Sage Live TV and the live Q&A. Our Sage Academy is a great place to learn & develop yourself and we actively encourage colleagues to be the best they can be - our new 'Your Sage' Intranet has a new careers section to help with career development. I wish you every success with your career.

Pros

Interesting, challenging and big products to work on, accounting software used by a lot of customers in many countries.

Cons

Higher management only cares about the numbers and the customers, they don't care about the employees. There also seems to be a lot of behind-the-scenes politics that can affect you a lot, but you'll never know who took the decision and why.

Thanks for your review. We agree we have some amazing products, after all Sage is a market leader for integrated accounting, payroll and payment systems. We at Sage love our people, we know our awesome products and superb customer service and innovation wouldn't happen without them. That's why we invest in them and their environments...from cool new buildings to Sage Rewards (in some countries and will be rolled out) and to Platinum Elite. There are also 1000s of hours of video learning and development modules available to all colleagues, our brand new Women@Sage mentoring programme and our leading for leaders programme will ensure our leadership team will inspire and lead our colleagues to be the best they can be. Thanks again for your review.
