Pros

Large customer base generating recurring revenue

Cons

Lack of consistent vision. Employees are generally not respected enough to be involved with the vision and therefore many are just running around doing what they think is right but receive little direction and no feedback.

Pros

Cons

Recently, they've been laying folks off. They quietly laid off about 50 people at the end of February, even though the CEO said there is nothing to worry about in the beginning of February. They are probably going to lay off more in the future in other markets around the world. No press release, just internal announcement. They don't promote folks who work hard, or show effort or even who go above and beyond, instead it's all about who you know. Some business units are better than others, the boys club mentality still applies here even though they showcase a DEIB affinity group. There are a lot of politics involved when making decisions, and so in the end it's not about what's best for the company, or even what is going to sell in the marketplace-it's just about what makes folks happy. They hire SMEs for regional markets, but don't actually listen to their advice or experience. It's sad because they should be empowering their employees and they'd sell more. Some folks don't even consider how to sell these products in the marketplaces that they are sold! Overall numbers are going down, and the morale is dropping especially with the recent layoffs. I used to think this was a special place, but in the end I put in a lot of hours, worked really hard, did more work than was asked of me and instead of being promoted or rewarded, I was chastized for going beyond my silo and for breaking down barriers. Many folks stopped speaking up because they'd just get into trouble, especially if the product wasn't doing well.

We are thankful for your feedback and sorry that your recent experience with us has not been very positive. We are transforming our business, and this requires us to optimize our organization regularly, which occasionally results in role or team changes. Whenever these changes must occur, we are committed to treating all impacted colleagues and teams fairly, and with the utmost confidentiality and respect. With the recent introduction of the Talent Marketplace system, it will be far easier for colleagues to move up and also sideways with Sage, as they are given more control than ever before over their career progression. We encourage you to share your ideas on strategic improvements with your manager and through any of our internal communication channels. We hope that you shall keep engaging in dialogue with us regularly here and internally so that we can keep striving to create an environment that makes all our colleagues proud to be part of Sage.
