Pros

Still some dedicated, exceptional employees working there.

Cons

Senior Leadership in Sage NA doesn't have the skill, expertise to lead the company to transform the business. Senior leadership is disconnected from employees and customers, doesn't listen to feedback. The "my way or the highway" leadership style misses out on the opportunity for collaboration. No vision and no commitment to corporate principles. "Do as I say, not as I do".

Sage needs to change

Pros

Some nice people, and good friendships. Pretty decent benefits plan.

Cons

There a lot's of "do as I say" style leaders willing to do whatever it takes to achieve an objective as long as that "whatever" does not require change or looking at problems in a different manner. Every product offered by Sage is based on exceedingly outdated technology. Few web-based products and Sage completely missed the entire SaaS boat. Sage rotates General Managers of their Biz Units in a manner that might lead you to believe that either there was something wrong with their hiring process or that GMs are scapegoats for poor strategc decison making.

Stay Away if You Can

Pros

Use to be a good company to work for, but situation in US is significantly worse in the last 2 years.

Cons

Sage does not care about employees at all. 3 days working from office is strictly enforced, with sick colleagues working at office all the time. Feels like they want to force you to quite working there. Almost all US colleagues I talked to were very frustrated with the company. Recently Sage also uses PIP as a weapon to terminate long term employees and avoid paying any severance package. I saw a 20+ years colleague being terminated without any severance package.
