Pros
As others have stated, the cons overwhelm the pros
Cons
No bonus for you… Said the fat, smug cats whilst licking the cream of their lips. Externally Sage has announced they have achieved their targets, hurrah for the shareholders and the board. Handshakes, massive pay-outs and slapped backs all round, good job men. Good job. Internally, we have not achieved our targets that are linked to growth in subscription numbers by a measly 1%, so no bonus for all the hard work put in over the year. Never mind chaps, there’s always next year. Back to the internal target and the GIANT elephant in the room… so internal targets are linked to growth in subscription numbers which is fine, and was probably achievable. We all understood this at the start of the year. But, hold on, didn’t sage suspend all subscription licences for Sage 50 in favor of a discounted perpetual licences for at least 1 month during the final push to year end? Yes, yes we did. So wouldn’t that effect the final subscription rate? Err…. Some questions you need to ask yourself before considering sage; do you want to work for a company which clearly undervalues and undermines their staff? Do you want to work for a company that uses a forced bell-curve review process? Do you want to work for a company that has in the past sent emails to colleagues to fire them? Do you want to work for a company that is run by a politician and his cronies, some of which have a sting of disasters in their past? It’s over to you.
