Pros

The team The abundant social events The pay when you achieve or over-exceed quota

Cons

When I first started here, I was super cheery about Sage Intacct and the abundance of benevolent people within the organization. As the months and years went on, I found myself questioning whether it was all a facade or if this is the way people truly are. I'm happy to say that the culture of Sage Intacct was very much intact, that is until the Covid-19 Pandemic occurred. Looking at fake reviews made me doubt my true feelings about Sage Intacct's sales department, because it made me not want to voice my negative feelings. I'd like to refer to the review written where the sales management was given "an A+ all around." This is in fact not the truth and that statement does not hold value, as it was written by management. (This isn't a self-grade test). 1. When Covid-19 was becoming more apparent, the sales management was reluctant to switching into a work from home environment as they did not trust us to work from home. *Cameras on, Cameras on, Cameras on* was the phrase of the month as we transitioned into remote work. 2. The expectation was to be even more productive since we are working from home, not to mention some of us don't even have a proper space to work from home in or an adequate home environment. 3. Some leaders are wonderful and I appreciate that some people have been transparent in their journey of switching from the office to remote work.The HR department is great and is making sure the mental health of Sage Intacct is intact. With that being said, the sales team thinks quite the opposite. They only check in when your productivity is down and don't even check to personally see how you're doing and are really quick to poke at how high your dial count is at that hour.

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.
