Regretfully I'm considering leaving

Pros

- Opportunity to balance work / life is better than most places I've experienced or heard about - Stability of the company gives me a sense of job security - Hard work is appreciated - CSR policy is very good and still improving - Working environment is good - I think the company has a good strategy and strong values - Most people genuinely want to do the right thing for our customers and small businesses

Cons

- Strategic execution is consistently poor as short term thinking always prevails - Too many silo's remain (driven partly by its excessively large portfolio) despite a recent and significant organisational restructure which leads to lots of excessive resolution meetings and productivity drain. - Hierarchy is too tall. The phrase "too many chiefs, not enough indians" comes to mind with lots of people who contribute very little to the business and seemingly only focused on career progression - Corporate culture means many bright, keen and experienced people are denied promotions and senior positions because they don't look or talk like a suit - not ideal place for millennials to work. Challenging the status quo is frowned upon. - The tools provided to do our jobs are ridiculously poor and kill productivity. Lots of disintegrated systems, DOS based billing systems, no CRM. I'd expect better of a FTSE 100 tech company.

Continuous changes in direction and in the executive team

Pros

Sage tends to hire experienced, smart people who are team players.

Cons

Decisions are very much made top-down. Don't expect to have a say beyond your manager. Many processes are bureaucratic and broken. Executives are caught in a revolving door. A lot of long term people with deep knowledge have left.
