Pros

- People on the Ground and 'Old Sage' are great. They are invested in their colleagues and customers and interested in doing the best for both of them. - Sharesave, Reward Gateway and the other benefits are very good - Offices have good facilities available

Cons

Having worked for Sage for a number of years, I always used to sing their praises as an employer and would regularly defend them against any criticism. However, over the last 2 -3 years I have seen a huge turnaround in Sage's attitude towards its employees. It no longer feels like you're cared for and employees are now merely a number. This seems to be the new strategy in order to push employees as far as possible to increase profit and please the shareholders. The senior management also seem make decisions based on personal agendas rather than what is best for the company and its customers. Its a shame people like Jacqueline have left as they seem to be managers that actually care about employees. Pay is also well below industry standard.

Pros

Sage will always hit their financial targets, no matter what.

Cons

Sage continues to engage in business practices that negatively impact their employees at every turn. They continually cut employee benefits in an effort to boost financial performance perception, and they operate with the "do more with less people" mentality. They use a completely outdated process for performance management, forcing managers to have to arbitrarily score employees with "unsatisfactory and needs improvement" in order to hit the bell curve quota established by HR. Merit increases are tiny, even for high performers. Don't expect to be rewarded for your hard work in keeping their customers happy. They will continue to under-appreciate you and nit pick at you about meaningless arbitrary goals that have NOTHING to do with serving the customer.

Pros

It's a paycheck and decent benefits. PTO is generous and the five volunteer days are a plus. Most of the people that work there are awesome.

Cons

Newer people with less experience are coming in making more money than current employees and a better bonus plan with minimum of 20%. Older employees are still on a 4% bonus plan and have not been given a date when it will be changed. The older employees are doing most of the work and not being rewarded. Morale is low and there are a lot of new people that do not know what they're doing and the older people are trying to correct things before it's too late. It's about to be too late because the people with the knowledge are walking out the door in droves because they do not feel valued. With the current changes in the company there is no room for advancement or growth unless you are in sales
