Thanks for taking time to write your review. As a current colleague, you are aware we are undertaking a period of organisational change to make us stronger, better and more customer focused than ever before. We are right at the start of our journey, it can take time for these changes to bed down and become part of everyday working life at Sage. As we continue to perform and transform we’ll continue to innovate and deliver great cloud-based products for our customers. For example, recent announcements show our commitment to this – our partnership with Fairsail to integrate finance and HCM within X3. Also the announcement of our free app for iPhone and iPad which simplifies expense management. As Stephen Kelly recently said “we have been recognised by top application developers who have said our technology is incredible and a real game charger.” Thanks for taking time to write your review, if you’d like to discuss this further, please contact us at Glassdoor@sage.com

Pros

Work life balance is the strongest attribute at Sage. Family matters and mental stablity is supported. Top notch benefits.

Cons

Departments with mixed roles of similar tasks, yet separate teams without collaboration.

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.
