Sage is faking reviews again

Pros

Every time the ratings go down Sage will post short and obvious fake reviews to keep the truth of how they treat employees from shareholders.

Cons

Employee morale is at an all time low. You can't be on one meeting without someone bringing up how ridiculous leadership is at Sage. Now four 4 star reviews just days after employees were cheated out of their bonuses. Cheated is accurate as shareholders, executives, and the board are not suffering a 3% bonus (if you are lucky) rather than the 20%-30% bonus in comp plans. Unless you are the CEO or CFO then bonus plan closer to 90% of base pay. Class war in full effect. Billions per year company paying CEO and CFO millions yet employees unable to even get their Christmas bonus!

Thanks for your feedback. At Sage we have a philosophy of ‘pay for performance’ and this year more than 90% of our bonus eligible colleagues across 23 countries will receive a payment to recognise their contribution. These payments are based on their country and own personal performance, with the highest performing teams and individuals being handsomely rewarded. In addition to performance-based bonus and commission plans, we offer competitive base salaries, as well as a flexible and award-winning benefits package designed to meet the needs of our diverse workforce.

Pros

Benefits- Dental, Vision, Medical, Gym reimbursement. Start with vacation time Overtime available if needed Pay is decent if you can hit goal. Work/Life balance is good

Cons

Company is becoming to vested in the shareholders rather than the employees. Doubling or even tripling goals from the previous year without making improvements to the product- and at the same time increasing the price of the product 2 to 4 times a year. Micro-managing is ridiculous because of the impossible-to-hit goals. Sage puts on a facade of being a huge family and "OneSage", but again, all of its changes are for the shareholders, not the employees. Too many changes happen in a year with compensation.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the benefits and feel you have a good work-life balance. That is important no matter where you work. It’s true that we set the bar high, and the introduction of our cloud products will not only bring huge benefits to our customers, but assist in our sales team in achieving their goals as well. We have many changes over the past couple of years, and like most companies, we are always looking for ways that we can improve our colleague experience. Your feedback is always welcome and very much appreciated.

Incompetent leadership

Pros

Smart and dedicated people work very hard to keep up with the pandemonium.

Cons

Constant turmoil, incompetent leadership in Atlanta (in way over her head). There's no long-term business plan - it morphs daily. Bonuses are a joke. Lots of fake reviews on this site.
