Sage reviews

- slow to keep up with new technologies. Still getting to grips with the Cloud. - lots of people leaving and not being replaced, leaving remaining staff under huge pressure. The quality of the software suffers massively because of this. - brutal when the figures aren't looking great, people losing jobs on an almost rotational basis. Jobs being moved to Poland - team leads holding calibration sessions to basically compare colleagues against each other and decide who to pick on for the following few months (there has to be someone in each role due to a strongly recommended, but not forced, bellcurve system. This has lead to people trying to outdo each other so they look the best and dont become the 'chosen one', destroying any team spirit which might have been left. - horribly low staff morale. Constantly feeling like your job is at risk and wondering what on earth is being said about you in the secret calibration sessions. - pointless "catch up" sessions with leaders via skype, or worse still in the atrium, to give people information which could have been communicated on an email. - ask for a lot of feedback from staff but do precisely nothing with it. Anything negative is dismissed and brushed under the carpet. - team leaders lacking people skills and compassion, think everyone's lives revolve around Sage. - part time staff treated appallingly meaning they have little to no chance of progression, due to being kept away from big projects and discouraged from engaging in anything outside of their immediate teams. - staff brought in on fixed term contracts, given very little training then sacked when they start to struggle.

It's all about the bottom line (which is dwindling). They don't realize that if you don't take care of the employees, they're not going to care or they will leave because you won't let them care. Customers are no longer a priority. Which does not work when your business is support centric. CEOs don't care what's happening and then wonder why sales are down. Amazing people are leaving by the droves. The pay does not make up for the hostile environment from corporate. One on one meetings (weekly) are a joke. The managers are told that they HAVE to find a negative, even if there's not one. So, rules will be changed to accommodate that, then still be changed back for the next go around. PTO is mandatory when they ask for it or you will be punished politically. They try to pit all of support against each other, when support works better together to make sure that customers are taken care of. They promise promotions and then hold you don't by changing rules and parameters and then change them back after you achieve the new ones. Simply put: This place is soul crushing and bad for your health. Not worth the pay.
