Pros
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.

"Teams understaffed / no work life balance"

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.... * downside of working for a global company are skype meetings at night (2am sometimes) due to time difference with US and UK. * Open space; noisy; to few rooms to focus on one's tasks.

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.
