Thanks for your feedback and agree Sage is a great place to work with fantastic colleagues and we know how to have fun! There is currently work being undertaken which will map out colleague career paths - more news soon. I am delighted to say your advice is soon to be a reality - later this month the brand new Leading for Leaders programme will start and this will have an amazing positive impact on each and every one of us. . Thanks for your feedback.

Pros

Many of the other reviews cover the many perks afforded to employees, but I'd rather focus on other areas. This is a business undergoing significant change. The rate of change has accelerated over the past couple of years and whilst change at this pace undoubtedly causes friction and challenges, the ambition and strategy being put in place is outstanding. There is an amazing plan to tackle a challenge that none of our competitors have - namely how we create a seamless experience for customers irrespective of which of the many products they are using. We are breaking new ground across a variety of exciting technical fronts, and opportunities abound for people who want them and exhibit courage and bravery. Is Sage perfect? No. But then no company is. Are there managers who have been promoted above their capability? In my humble opinion yes, but again this is common in corporates. But there are a lot of amazing people here who are dedicated, hard working and who pull together. I love this company. If you want to be part of an amazing journey, join us.

Cons

Growing pains. Pace of change causes friction and some day to day challenges and frustration. But normal for any organisation attempting to redefine itself.

Pros

I am only in my second month at this company and am already finding it an exceptional place to work. Although I am not office based, so I don't enjoy the benefits of the restaurants and other on site facilities unless I am in for meetings (now and then). Why is it exceptional then? Well, there's the people. The people are open and honest and helpful. I particularly liked and continue to enjoy the ambassador approach to onboarding. Great use of social media within the organisation on chatter for example where people can collaborate in groups geographically challenged. Fantastic learning opportunities with the Sage Lynda.com portal providing just in time learning opportunities. Very useful top down messaging from CEO in regular Sage TV appearances. Very good UK messaging coming down from JdR in the UK - on the ball and relevant messaging, in the right tone and timely.

Cons

Some delays in the ordering of equipment and software but nothing that couldn't be worked through with the help of colleagues. Some way to go in unifying processes and systems, single sign on, for example but there have been recent leaps and bounds in the provision of a global intranet, a people portal and so on. Often difficult to find things internally, but with the help of ambassadors and colleagues this is not insurmountable. Some difficulties continue setting up signoffs and so on where manager is in another geography. Systems not talking to each other.

Thanks for your review about Sage. The Ambassador programme for new starters can't be under-estimated can it - totally agree. They make such a difference in a company our size, so it's great to hear the Programme has been of use to you - thanks. Linda.com is a fantastic tool, so many learning and development opportunities to really help grow your career. Couldn't agree more about the new leader in the UKI - JdR is breathing some fire and passion into the belly of our people - the 'Green Army' - her weekly updates are spot on, and with Sage Live TV broadcast every two weeks, the messaging is really working. Pleased to hear you like the new 'Your Sage' global intranet too. I agree with your cons, but as you say, we are getting there and improvements are being made all the time. Loving the title of your review - keep loving #LifeatSage!
