Pros

Sage Intacct was just pronounced a Best Place to Work for a 10th year in a row, and a lot of the underlying goodness is still here: colleagues that have their heart in the right place, a good product, a desire to do right by the customer, competency and a growth mindset.

Cons

Intacct was acquired by Sage in 2017 but was operated as a separate unit until August-September 2020. Now it's integration in full force. Beloved Sage Intacct leaders are being terminated or leaving voluntarily. New policies and processes are being put in place, some of which are quite eyebrow raising. For example, it is now nearly impossible to relocate to another state; this requires approval at the highest level from the UK, which is usually not provided. There are enough canaries in the coalmine now to indicate that Sage Intacct is turning from an agile and awesome Silicon Valley startup into a a typical large company - of European flavor at that - with all the baggage that comes with it. This already sucks for startup-minded colleagues, who are starting to leave, and I anticipate will soon suck for customers. If you are a "big company" type of person, Sage is the right place for you. The rest, join Sage Intacct at your own risk.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with your direct leader while you worked here at Sage. As an organization, we understand that leaders impact the success of our colleagues and our customers. So we continue to work hard on the ways we develop our leaders and the ways we support them so their skills continue to align with our high performing culture.

Pros

Very good benefits, PTO and colleagues

Cons

Goals change on a regular basis with no attempt to make them achievable whatever you think your comp plan is today will not match up with what it turns into tomorrow. Make sure you negotiate a base pay that you can live on if you don't make target for variable comp because your won't, it will be undo-able or change before you see a check - that was my experience for the last two years I was there.
