      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      -Poor, technologically weak and outdated products -Cumbersome product development protocols -Excessive pressure to follow outdated and slow UK processes -Low pay -Unqualified VPs that have old ways of thinking -No future direction is evident -Poor communication among departments -Big blame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.

      Unhappy Work Life

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The brand although unfortunately having squeezed the pockets of accountants and small businesses for so long even that is met with disdain. I actually feel embarrassed to work here. My immediate team members are a great group of people but most of our conversations are about how unhappy we are.

      Cons

      Company lacks any vision or strategy. Products are over priced. Products are not keeping up with competition. Management doesn’t listen to any feedback and stifle any ideas. Systems so old you can’t do your job. Culture of back stabbing. Second hand car dealer mentality, sell it, move on, customers problem then. Unrealistic targets. Less than 20% of the team get any bonus.
