Going The Wrong Way

Pros

Good people, nice culture and really nice working environment. Flexible with time and schedule. Pay seems to be pretty good for some jobs.

Cons

Sage has some really good people, unfortunately, they are letting them go to save money. While they want to focus on cloud products, they don't really have any. The C line of products are not really cloud. They really don't have much for partners and that is one of the biggest issues. With layoffs every few months it seems, not a good environment.

Don't work in Irvine

Pros

The people at the company are phenomenal. They are the best group of people that I have ever had the honor of working with. Highly intelligent, caring, and fun loving.

Cons

Company is reducing their foot print in Irvine. They don't say it, but everyone knows that Sage will eventually leave Irvine. Also, the company makes too many changes too quickly resulting in frustrated customers and employees.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, we agree that our people are amazing - we work hard and play hard! We are still recruiting in Irvine and it's a strategically important centre for Sage. We regularly gain feedback from our customers to gain their insights and act upon them too. Recently we've just undertaken a global colleague survey and held focus groups based on the feedback to really understand the issues. The feedback/plan will be shared at the FY18 kick-offs in October. Thanks again for your review.

Pros

Overall, nice people to work with, relaxed dress code.

Cons

Too many to list. Management rolls out programs for professional growth, and in less than one year no one seems to remember anything being in place. No matter the personal growth, unless there is a "business need," there will be no promotion. Company holds on to people w/poor performance/attendance for the sake of a warm body since replacements are few and far between.

Thanks for your review. Sage is a lovely place to work with great people. We are aiming to be a high-performance organisation where colleagues are rewarded for the contribution they make and if poor performance exists we work with individuals to improve. We promote colleagues internally and at present 26% of all roles are filled by internal colleagues, in some geographies this is as high as 45%, we are aiming at increasing the global average. To equip leaders with the tools and the skills, this year we will launch a new leadership development programme for 2,000 Sage leaders. Our ambition is to ensure that every day our leaders encourage, support and stretch colleagues to develop their full potential here. It will help them to quickly identify and address low levels of performance and recognize those that go ‘above and beyond’ delivering great service to our customers, partners and accountants. Thanks for your review.
