Pros

We had many, alas none are left.

Cons

The upper management is out of touch. The company has been going downhill for a while, and the ship will keep sinking. It is definitely not a technology company as they may claim. While focusing on sales with no foreseen market growth or investments, their strategy is no less than "milking the cow". The culture on the otherside.. Wait, there is no company culture anymore. Everyone is overworked, with low pay and no more benefits. The morale is as low as it gets. I have never been happier to leave a company.

We are disappointed to hear you have a negative opinion of Sage. As a colleague, we are sure you understand our strategic growth plan is designed to transform in a way that will benefit our customers as well as our colleagues. We can’t discount your feelings, but the culture is alive and well. There have been new efforts to inspire true collaboration and spirit, this is evident in the programs we have aligned to our communities through the Sage Foundation. This is just one way we can focus on providing a positive work environment. We recognize that change can be hard, but we are confident that these changes will ensure a stronger management structure that will enhance the lives of our colleagues. Please reach out and provide additional specifics by contacting glassdoor@sage.com. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

Some of the people are genuinely rockstars in their crafts. The insurance is top notch and PTO is generous.

Cons

Company culture and morale are awful. The salaries are low, policies are dated and not equitable, product and internal tech is dated. Rapid changes due to poor leadership and frequent turnover. Leadership does not seem to possess the ability to pivot once decisions have been made, even if the decision was the wrong one. Company personality is archaic and as far away from forward-thinking as possible.
