Pros

The ONLYreason I stay at this company is the people. I'm not talking about top management, I am referring to my team. Sage has many great people on the teams here. That is about all I can say.

Cons

Cons are plentiful! This entire "transformation" that was done in the finance and accounting are is a complete fiasco. We've got people doing the functions of 2 or more people and Sage does NOT care. Sage refers to work life balance. There is NONE. They do not look to the back office teams and see how much we are doing. Not one person I know is not deflated. Now we get to have a team "building" event next week that NO ONE is looking forward to. It just means that we have to give more of our time (in the evenings) to get our work done which means more time away from our family which means NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. I'm really saddened it has come to this and I'm not certain what can be done to turn things around in regards to employee morale. I would absolutely NOT recommend anyone to work here. Bonuses this year were a joke. Yes I'm thankful something was paid out, but did whomever come up with the calculation even look at a majority of the people and what they gave up for Sage in the last year. The bonus was a joke when I think about the hours of my life that I will never get back. I will not make that mistake again. This year, I worked harder than I have ever worked before at this company and gave it my ALL. I would have rather had NO bonus than the miniscule amount that I was given.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
