Pros

Great benefits, flexible schedules (especially if you have kids you need to pick up from school), Sage believes in investing in employee training (including tuition reimbursement), open-mindedness of majority of employees to think creatively about a solution to a problem, no micro-managers, Sage encourages quarterly coaching sessions with employees to help them grow professionally.

Cons

Technology is outdated and has crossed the chasm, Sage is slow to move (as is any big corporation), slow to adopt the cloud, going through rebranding efforts because the Sage name in North America is virtually unknown even though in Europe we are a widely known name. The pay is not as competitive as others in the industry. Also, if you get stuck working only with an accounting product, that gets boring for us non-accountants after a while.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
