Pros

Nice offices (Great North Park, Newcastle) with good outside space to walk off frustrations.

Cons

Trying to play on the global scene but still think like a SME. Having big ideas but not putting resources behind them and expecting employees to give their all with no real incentives.

Thanks for your feedback. We're proud of our people and that's why they deserve to have great offices to work in - we've invested in our locations across the globe and we will continue to, so it's great to hear they are well liked by you...we are also refurbishing Newcastle this year as well...so, even more exciting. Sage does think big and is...from the world's first bott for accountants and now Pegg is the world's first voice activated bott for accounting too! We aim to make accounting invisible so the business builders can focus on their businesses. We've also announced a programme designed to empower the next generation with the AI and bot skills needed as the UK takes the lead on the global Bots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) movement. As part of Sage Foundation, over the next six months, Sage will establish a ‘BotCamp’ for over one hundred school-leavers and millennials, aged 16-25, giving them the opportunity to be at the leading edge of the technology industry. This programme is designed to be inclusive, and provide accessible technology skills that will help people to embrace, not fear, the 4th industrial revolution. 53% of employees are paid via Sage (in the UK), we are the market and technology leader for integrated accounting, payroll and payment systems as well as the UK's biggest tech company. Our people do amazing things - we build, we market, we sell, we support...our people are the best. We reward our colleagues well - whether pay, rewards, benefits, commission, bonuses, Platinum Elite etc. Thanks for reviewing Sage.
