      Pros

      Good hours and no weekends. Time off is encouraged. Fooda set ups are nice and very convenient for the employee

      Cons

      All of the risks in selling solutions is on the employee. Now the Account Executive will not be paid until this solution goes live. This can be almost half a year. Pay is no longer competitive in the marketplace. Very gloomy environment as changes rolled out, the pay no longer matches the original offer. Employees do not trust the company anymore

      Thanks for your review and although you've now left Sage it's great to read you have a good work life balance and enjoyed the food offering in your former offices. We are committed to paying colleagues competitively - our pay structures are based on robust market data. We focus data sourcing on a carefully curated list of high tech companies to ensure we compare ourselves to our competitors. Sage is also committed to rewarding high performers. Our Sales Commission schemes are un-capped, and last year our top performers earned 3 times their annual salary in commission payments alone. Looking at UK data (I don't know where you're from, so apologies if you are not from the UK) - our average earning was £1,023pcm in commission sales. That compares very favourably with our competitors, and is even more competitive in the North East of England where the majority of our UK sales team are based. Thanks again for your review and all the best with your career.

      Pros

      None - No one should work here or buy Sage software until they publicly renounce their employee performance management system and actively change the culture for the better.

      Cons

      Penny pinching culture, restrictive PTO policy, and every 6 months to a year 20% are placed on a performance plan regardless of actual objective performance against the job description.

      Thank you for writing your review about Sage. Our rewards, benefits and pay are competitive and I would be interested to hear from you regarding "restrictive PTO" and "penny pinching culture" as we do work hard to ensure we are competitive as possible. Feel free to drop me an email at glassdoor@sage.com. We aspire to have a high performance culture, where colleagues are rewarded for the contribution they make. The performance review process is designed to provide a formal opportunity twice a year between managers and team members to discuss what has been achieved and how results have been achieved. Of course we encourage performance feedback in the moment and regularly as you suggest and the intention is for this to be motivational and corrective too, as necessary. We have lots of opportunities to grow and build your career at Sage, from our leadership programme, to mentoring at Sage to Linda.com. Also, during your development conversation with your manager, use this as an opportunity to discuss how you would like to develop. There are some great tools to guide you in the Sage Academy. Thanks again for your review.

      Pros

      You get a paycheck and a cubicle.

      Cons

      Paychoice, management and leads unprofessional. Act like middle schoolers. Gossip and backstabbing are common. Need to get rid of excess managers/leads and hire workers that actually work not favorites you cover for.

      Thanks for writing a review about Sage on Glassdoor. We are concerned about what you say, this is not the Sage we recognise or indeed want to see...totally contrary to our Sage values. Please ensure you speak to your leaders about this. Feel free to drop me a line to discuss further - glassdoor@sage.com
