Pros

Great Work Life Balance - Family First - Managers are never there - Managment gives you trust and hires you for your knowledge.

Cons

The company is falling apart, Stephen Kelly has not turned the company around as you can see that from the inside. Its hard to pretended but everything is falling apart. Enough said I don't want to go into detail.

Thanks for reviewing Sage. Glad to hear your work life balance was achieved when you were here - it's something we try and ensure all our colleagues achieve. Sage is growing from strength to strength and our CEO, Stephen Kelly, has been a massive part of that - but so has every one. When a leader like Stephen has a vision it's down to our leaders and then us to ensure we achieve it, we are all accountable (and I am pleased to say rewarded both in terms of pay, bonuses, benefits and soon to be launched via the new 'Share&Save Plan' so we can all reap the benefits of Sage's success). Thanks again and all the best with your career.

Pros

Good salaries and benefits package. Beautiful offices around the world. A dedicated team who will work themselves into the ground.

Cons

The management only care about profit with little interest in their employees well being. Heavy workloads and an expectation to work during weekends and annual leave.

Thank you for your review. It's great to hear the salaries and our whole benefits package works well for you. Yes, you're right, we have amazing offices in more than 20 countries across the globe and our people are awesome. I am not sure how you know the featured review is from our CEO's PA as all reviews are anonymous. The UK featured review says he/she is a colleague in Newcastle, whereas Stephen's PA works in London, so I would say it's not from his PA. At Sage we recognise our people are amazing; we couldn't produce the awesome products without them, we could not sell the software without our fantastic sales crew and couldn't support them without the incredible people who are there all the time to ensure our business builders have total and utter dedication from our colleagues. At Sage we can’t promise an easy ride but it’ll be a rewarding one and leaving your comfort zone will help you grow in belief and as a person. From our new mentoring programme, to Sage live TV, to Linda.com development portal, plus the ShareSave scheme being rolled out globally and lots of other exciting events to be announced soon, there's never been a better time to join Sage.

Pros

People in Sage are generally decent looking to progress themselves. Facilities right through to HR are amazing and the new office is fantastic

Cons

Sage has been a fantastic place to work every single individual worked together. However in the past 12-18 months things have changed drastically. HR is currently being run completely from the UK which means they are not easily accessible and they are not close enough to some of the things that happen. Leadership are floating on cloud 9. They constantly talk about how great we are, meanwhile the people on the front line are drowning not only from volume and complaints about the product but also from the harassment and bullying enforced from management. Success is not celebrated but failure is constantly rubbed in people's faces even when it is something outside of their control. Employees are exposed to a culture of fear to the point that they have been told not to speak to HR any more. They are told on a regular basis they are replaceable. When certain issues have been investigated by HR they have been brushed under the mat and instead Sage continues to hemeriage talented individuals and destroy the amazing brand they once had. Certain members of the leadership team get by through meddling in lies and intimidating others. The latest product "Sage Live" is not market ready and customers hate it however their feedback is being ignored and management continue to hail it as the best accountancy product on the market. It's no wonder Xero are Doing so well. Face the hard truths and tackle them head on instead of pretending everything is ok.
