      The largest dysfunctional org I've ever witnessed. Massive reboot is needed to curve Sage's slow, expensive tailspin.

      Pros

      Nice office and free snacks among others mirages to bait and hide the catastrophe. The people below middle and upper management are really great people and act like humans. There are some gems in management, but the lack of systems to spot bad leaders is nonexistent. There's not repeatable way Sage has found yet to identify and foster good leaders yet. Hence, they have many bad leaders.

      Cons

      HR is rotten to the core for the US. There was a massive exodus last year in talent. The solutions are great example of what not to do to. Ancient design in the cloud may help describe this. Sage's solutions iterate at the pace of a dead snail.

      Thanks for your feedback. Our performance management process identifies colleagues who are under performing and performance improvement plans are put in place to help get these colleagues back on track. If colleagues' (including leaders') performance continues to be unacceptable they may be exited from the organisation – and this is happening! The Talent Review process would identify these risks / future gaps in leadership and plan succession pipelines for these positions. This is something we are taking incredibly seriously and we have made commitments to our board to strengthen our leadership pipeline. Our Code of Conduct and Sage Values and Behaviours describe the standards we expect from all colleagues in ‘how’ they achieve their goals at Sage. These frameworks underpin our Leading @ Sage Programme which was launched in April. Thanks again for your feedback.

      Pros

      This company has pens, telephones, employees, and desks with chairs. There are people who work here everyday. There are windows and doors in the buildings.

      Cons

      -Poor, technologically weak and outdated products -Cumbersome product development protocols -Excessive pressure to follow outdated and slow UK processes -Low pay -Unqualified VPs that have old ways of thinking -No future direction is evident -Poor communication among departments -Big blame game is encouraged everywhere -CYA mentality runs rampant -No innovation -Worst job experience ever

      Thank you for taking the time to post your review. It is disappointing to hear that you have a negative outlook of Sage but we appreciate all employee feedback. As a current employee you will be aware that the past year in particular, we have been working hard to transform the business, and that the purpose of the transformation is to make us a stronger business which will allow us to operate more effectively and deliver more value for our customers. Our future focus is very exciting and we are confident that our partnerships we are growing will continue to help us deliver long term benefits; but we are aware that moving through a change programme can be difficult at times. We believe in our brand and that our CEO and Leadership team have built a winning strategy that will continue to deliver positive results for our business and make us stand out against our competition. If you haven’t done so already, we would encourage you to talk with your current Manager to share your feedback and thoughts.

      Can the last employee to leave Sage, please turn off the lights...

      Pros

      > You can look back fondly on working with some genuine and great people over the years during your time here

      Cons

      Also, if you ARE the last person to leave... >check the fridges have been switched off and emptied. "Empty all the fridges that were used by 1500 personnel????" I hear you say? No need to fret - there were only 2 shared by all staff >"SELL!! SELL!! SELL!!" >Wipe down all the microwaves. Same again - it's not such a big task - 1500 personnel had to share 4 microwaves, so it's not a massive ask. Besides, as you are the last person, there is no queue at lunchtime now. >Post something on Chatter - the internal "Social Media" tool. You are the last person leaving, so only you will read it - but that was always the case anyway. Frodo should have hidden the ring on Chatter - even Sauron would not have been able to find it there! >Ensure all your monthly 121s are up to date, your mid year is up to date, and your final year review is up to date. Although you are the last person in Sage, and nobody else going to read it, they never did anyway. As you're now the last employee, you also need to take care of the management tasks too (dont worry - there's no need to read anyone's appraisal)... >>Share a post on LinkedIn - a leadership quote by Simon Sinek is perfect ( just to give the appearance to LinkedIn land that you give a hoot about leadership - it's okay that you dont actually care though, apparently ) >>Post on twitter about how inspired you are by customers. Again it helps to give the appearance you give a damn - you don't necessarily need to care about customers, apparently Most importantly >> dont tell the shareholders you are the last one to go. Whatever happens, we have to ensure these random strangers that nobody knows, that do nothing, but make everyone miserable, are kept happy, so that they can be a small % richer as a result of what you do.
