Pros

Healthy install base of software products and all sorts of positions available. This company ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

Cons

It's a rudderless ship living off of it's install base. Management is clueless, with high turnover in the executive ranks, and has been trying to grow the business by rolling back benefits and salaries of employees. Also, it refuses to market itself better so public perception is next to nill despite millions being spent in marketing.

Terrible place to work

Pros

Sage is a global brand and internationally recognised, has a strong foothold in the market and an established customer base.

Cons

Culture of high turnover, poor morale among staff. Training not as advertised, horrible culture from newly incumbent management and wholesale change removing everything that used to be good about the company. Salaries below the market average for similar roles. Culture of hiring more staff than required and winnowing out the rest as fast as possible. Avoid like the plague.

Pros

Bonus scheme (although never fully achievable due to ridiculous targets) Good paternity pay and length 5 volunteering days a year Salary is fairly competitive but on the slightly lower side Career progression is good if you can showcase good performance but has been limited in the last year due to cost cutting.

Cons

Top level management used to care and listen to employees and we felt valued, looked after and listened too. However over the last 2 years this has all changed (coincidentally with some change in the c suite team). The company has just had poor decision after another which staff have been vocal against with a stance of just take it or quit, It has destroyed morale and made overall productivity in the company lower (dont have metrics but would put money on it im that sure). The final straw that broke the camels back was the recent change from 2 days a week with flexibility in office to 3 days a week no flexibility. After Sage globally have cut desks in offices, parking etc these changes are pushing people into over crowded offices with no parking left and people don't understand why its being done. No one asked for this and when they announced it they said "they had listened to feedback about office days". Yet when people actually gave feedback after the announcement they refused to listen to any of it.
