Trying to grow up to be a global company but not quite there yet

Pros

Well known in Europe, large historical customer base

Cons

Massive changes undertaken with little input by knowledgeable employees, higher regard for candidates outside of Sage vs current employees of Sage, "yes men" mentality close the executive management, huge disconnect between management and middle management/front line employees, lack of understanding of how to operate as a global company and support global career paths, management is dominated by white males. New products are not innovating fast enough to replace old, dying product lines.

Leaderless and lacking vision (Sage Live)

Pros

Sage offers a solid benefits package to its employees. The biggest perk is starting off with 20 days of paid time off.

Cons

1. Lack of leadership 2. Inability to try creative practices 3. No accountability on groups that fail to perform (global marketing unable to deliver the necessary MQLs to ensure sales and customer success can hit their targets yet when they are called out for quality and quantity they question the other teams) 4. Employees constantly jockey for position in a constant game of politics and trying to make themselves look good instead of focusing on employees and the customer. 5. Leadership lacks the ability to analyze data and be agile to the shifting landscape to make sure the product is positioned to address pain points in the market. I could go on and on, but I do not want to bore you.

Unprofessional, Broken Promises, Set for Failure

Pros

Good PTO if you are able to use, and reasonable health benefits

Cons

Backfill positions have been 8 months and counting in replacement, leaving one colleague to support a national independent sales force. Colleague is drowning and suffering physically and mentally. No reasons are given and no good reasons exist. Have gotten to the point of offer letters for candidates and those have not been put off for a month and continuing. One would assume that the campus is being shut down.
