I am Sage....

Pros

Sage has good employees who genuinely care about customers. However, many of them have left or are on their way out. The company provides average salaries and benefits. Nothing to get excited about but at least they offer something.

Cons

I am Sage. I am a mediocre business software company with no real direction other than "reorganization". I am Sage. I punish employees who attempt to innovate and only allow creativity if one of the upper management staff comes up with an idea (i.e. steals it from subordinate employee and takes credit for it). I am Sage. I treat my employees as disposable resources. No one is valuable and I show no loyalty to them unless I need something. I am Sage. I believe the number of tweets my executives send will make us more successful in the US market rather than producing functional technology that customers want to buy. Please follow us. I am Sage. I will take away employee bonuses and terminate employees until our financials look good on the books and then turn a blind eye to how we have destroyed the internal structure and morale of our company. Don't ask how we are going to meet our numbers next year. I am Sage. I believe the closeness of the Atlanta airport is an amenity for my employees. (Yes I think staff truly believes that). Potential employees, take some time to sort the reviews on this site by Date and not Popular at the top right hand side of the first page. You will see this company's ratings are in a nosedive and have been for a while. Sage recognizes this and is in a panic which is demonstrated by their "planting" of reviews by upper management and Human Resources on this site. Any time you see terms/ phrases like "onboarding process" "being a change agent" or "Sound Leadership" make note these reviews are planted to combat the truthful reviews from employees. This behavior is an exact example of how their management strategy has gone wrong. They feel the need to spend more time spreading misleading information on this site to cover up real problems than improving on what's wrong in the daily workings of the company. This is not surprising because after some reflection on some of the most recent reviews Sage would have to admit that the root of most of their problems is a stagnant and ineffective leadership team who make bad decisions and have an inability to manage and motivate their teams.

Pros

Decent benefits, great people to work with (but that's fading fast as people leave), some passion in the partner and customer base.

Cons

No chance for career growth or promotion, really bad management (both middle and corporate), the recurring cycle of layoffs and new hiring makes it seem schizophrenic, there is outrageous discrimination to the point where there are 2 classes of employees - those that work in the new office or on the CEO's pet projects get free snacks and sodas and other perks, while the second-class staff in other product lines and offices have to pay 75-cents or more for the same soda. Sage does not value it's employees (as evidenced by the constant cycles of layoffs and hiring) - even those that think they're special and work on 'global' teams. Sage is too big to fail - it can ride it's maintenance revenues for a while and survive even without organic growth. But because of it's lack of corporate strategy and toxic employee culture, it is losing market share everywhere in the world, has great employees leaving in droves, and a management that is either too selfishly trying to save their titles or are promoting themselves on the backs of employees that are struggling and cracking under the stress. And it's products and customers are paying the price.

Pros

Great benefits, ambition and vision for future growth. New products and some recent improvements are encouraging. New facilities are the best that I've experienced.

Cons

Dealing with legacy product issues and a culture that isn't used to change. Finance has undergone a major organizational change and that has been difficult.
