Culture - Really supportive and Empowering culture Pay Rewards compared to other companies Global opportunity Great leadship
Cons
Possible lack of career opportunities - move up in roles Reactive workplace culture.
Advice to Management
if we could structure in a way to support career progression and/also to align each department and also really need to element reactive culture and become a proactive culture. Apart from that it is a fantastic place to work and would recommend it to anyone.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Sage full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
* dynamic new leadership * great suite of products for small and medium size companies * brand well known worldwide, in particular in the US and Europe
Cons
* staff is leaving and not replaced as long as there's no burn out in the rest of the team - some teams are really understaffed, leading team members to work 10 to 12 hours / day + weekends more than exceptionally. Whereas annual salary might be attractive, the salary rate based on hours worked is not motivating at all. * Part-time is less and less granted as team are understaffed. It's either full-time or bye bye. ...

Pros
Sage has a vibrant and high performance culture. It offers work life balance to employees giving them flexibility to plan their day, improving efficiency to deliver on agreed outcomes. Sage Management is changing and bringing in bright ideas and execution to take Sage to the next level whilst creating exciting job opportunities.
Cons
Sage has been around for over 36 years now. This brings with it a combination of old and new approach, making work challenging and exciting at the same time. Sage is growing and making bold changes to bring agility to the business and it is very visible. This means more opportunities to take the front seat with Sage on the journey towards a Cloud Business portfolio.
Advice to Management
Change is not easy, but you're doing a great job driving it to take Sage to where it belongs, No. 1 ERP, Payroll and Accounting solution.

Pros
The company is going through transformation and works close with global teams on strategy and new solutions. Big breadth of solutions across many different markets and industries. Great people to work with and lots of collaboration.
Cons
Change and transformation is happening fast - in a good way! Just means long hours for now..
Advice to Management
While there is plenty of drive to deliver the new strategies and changes, make sure to continuously check up on how your teams and colleagues are going and coping. The activities around well being are great, keep it up!

Pros
The BEST people in the industry. If you get hired at Sage, you are considered a top performer in the market. Very friendly, you generally spend more time with colleagues than family and the people at Sage are GREAT! You'll be happy to come into work. BIG achievements being done locally as well as globally. Senior management focused on making Sage a great place to work at. Whistle-blower program works: Bad bullying...
Show MoreCons
It's busy, but busy good. Lots on and not enough hours in the day to get it done, you will potentially feel time poor with long hours and late nights. Still going through massive change towards becoming a true global company. Australia is a small region in the global economy: company hesitant to make the necessary investments in local high growth areas.
Advice to Management
Stay the course. Recognise the teams who are doing the hard work behind the scenes and acknowledge their efforts: Sale operations and Finance, our hero's in getting business done! Continue to have a policy of zero tolerance for bad management: purge those who aren't on board and making Sage a great place to work and for partners to engage with.
