Pros

As Swiss citizen born in Geneva. I moved to Vancouver in 2015. With time, I had the chance to develop my Network and got referred to Sage. Currently, Sage was looking for French Speaking or bilingual. I graduated in Switzerland in a private university as an Art Director advertising marketing. With many other experiences that I developed with time while working between Paris and Geneva. I decided to apply for Sage Vancouver. Lucky me! I got my first interview with the VP, director, human resource and the manager (all at the same time). When I compare the culture in this company with how we are operating in Switzerland. I was very surprised! They have a great culture, and everyone is so nice and helpful. As it was one of my first jobs that I contracted here in Canada. I’m very thankful to be here. I learned a lot from this company, and they are very welcoming with new hires in a great and positive vibe! You start with a PAID training for 1 month before you are working on the floor. 7 months have already passed as a new account manager. I’m very happy to be here to learn more and develop my skills while they have directed me to be successful. They also hire so many people that’s from all over the world which creates for a very diverse environment! I think Sage Vancouver has probably one of the most riches in term of culture and ethnicities. Everyone accepts each other and they are all helping each other in order to move forward for our Success. What a great team!

Cons

No downside as they are very flexible...

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.
